About half-way through Merry Christmas, Mr. Baxter, our annual read for Christmas.
Just started, on my own, A Christmas Carol, a copy of the 1966 edition that duplicates the 1940 edition illustrated by Philip Reed.

A Happy Thanksgiving to all the Fedora Loungers~ I have over the years enjoyed the postings, the exchanges, and the insights into the Golden Age with which we identify.
