Who wrote it: Letters of Thanks: A Christmas Tale is written by Manghanita Kempadoo and illustrated by Helen Oxenbury, published by Franklin Watts in 1969.

What it's about: Told entirely through a year of thank you letters between Lord Gilbert and Lady Huntington, the book retells the Twelve Days of Christmas as a very English, very funny correspondence about gifts gone slightly wrong.

Special features: Helen Oxenbury's illustrations, in her early style, appear throughout in both pen and ink drawings and full color.

Why I like it: I love selling Christmas books and looking through the illustrations of vintage Christmas books and just about everything about Christmas books!

Condition: Hardcover with dust jacket, both clean. Please review all photos carefully, and email me with any questions.

Thanks so much for visiting,
❤️ Jess
