Christmas, Esq.; a map of the North Pole, and a watercolour image of St. Nick accidentally spilling polar dust on his Christmas Moccasins; together with calligraphic text throughout; fine.

A wonderful conversation in which Father Christmas, after leaving his calling card with a young boy, now finds himself reunited with its owner - the author - and together they discuss the importance of Polar Dust. The wonderful folding triptych map to the centrefold shows the residence of St. Nick, as well as that of the Elves, together with the launchpad, Toy Workshop, the secret caverns, and other sites.
A lovely Christmas keepsake.
