THE YEAR OF THE CHRISTMAS DRAGON
by Ruth Sawyer
Ruth Sawyer, whose children's books have delighted several generations of young readers, now writes of Mexico and its link to the far east. In a story of an ancient Chinese dragon, she describes the creature's journey to Mexico, carrying with him a small boy. And then, eons later, the emergence of a small dragon who aids a peculiarly oriental looking Mexican in celebrating the Christmas feast. Highly imaginative and poetic, this story is illustrated by Hugh Troy. An unusual Christmas story which could become classic.
