BLESS THIS DAY

A book of prayers for children, Bless - This Day embraces the entire world of a child's activity. In the words of famous men -- Blake, Christopher Smart, Spenser King Alfred the Great, Dickens --in the words of the author, the Bible, and a host of other sources, Elfrida Vipont, an English Friend and a distinguished musician, brings prayer into every part of the child's day. Harold Jones, whose illustrations for Lavender's Blue have achieved international recognition, creates through his softly colored illustrations an atmosphere of nostalgia and tenderness, a universe of mystic light, pinafored children, and gentle animals. An inspirational book of superior literary calibre.
