Two chapbook volumes. (6)ff each. "A-Wishing Well" features wood engravings by Thomas Nason. The included correspondence - with a request from the collector, Adam G. N. Moore, and a response from Blumenthal - explain something of the Frost Christmas chapbooks' long history. As Blumenthal explains, there were 25 produced by Spiral since 1929, plus 2 from Holt around 1942. Chapbooks both bound in printed wrappers and show occasional light rubs, else near fine. Letters likewise.
