About the book:     (from the book, dust jacket) This handsome volume is a treasury of fine stories, folk history, music cartoons, poetry, recipes, design, and art -- a marvelous gift for the entire family. THE ABBOTT CHRISTMAS BOOK, a plum pudding filled with Christmas delights, is for all those with a discriminating sense of literature and art. Included is the work of many talented artists and writers -- selected particularly for the season but enjoyable throughout the year. There is, for example, the nostalgic "Apple Cider 'n' 'simmon Beer", by B.A. Botkin. There is a sharp yet comic cartoon by The New Yorker's Robert Blechman; the poems "Christmas Eve" (Conrad Aiken), "Is It Peace?" (Robert Graves), and ""Star Silver'' (Carl Sandburg); and lovely features on marzipan and 'On Being Merry," by William Jay Smith. Here -- in entertaining prose memorable poetry, and stunning pictures -- is a volume in the spirit of an American Christmas. THE ABBOTT CHRISTMAS BOOK A gift book of deep reverence and bright fun, striking beauty and usefulness-with stories, poetry, history, music and art by Peter De Vries, Art Buchwald, Karl Shapiro James Hilton, Phyllis McGinley Conrad Aiken, Robert Graves Elmer Rice, Mary Lavin, William Carlos Williams, Christopher Fry, Doris Lee, William Saroyan, Carl Sandburg, Carl Van Doren, and other distinguished contributors-to renew the spirit of all who possess it, this year and every Christmas thereafter. About Abbott:     (from the book, dust jacket) For many years Abbott Laboratories, a major pharmaceutical corporation, has been producing a publication for the medical profession entitled What's New -- a startlingly hand some magazine that is the envy of everyone who knows editing and the graphic arts. Many of the articles published are for doctors, but every issue -- particularly their Christmas numbers -- carries the work of some of the world's best-known, best-loved writers, artists, photographers and designers. THE ABBOTT CHRISTMAS BOOK -- beautifully executed -- represents the harvest of 13 years of publication, put together for enjoyment this Christmas and for many holiday seasons to come.

Paperback. Condición: New. This anthology of treasures from the oral literature of Native California, assembled by an editor admirably sensitive to language, culture, and history, will delight scholars and general readers alike. Herbert Luthin's generous selection of stories, anecdotes, myths, reminiscences, and songs is drawn from a wide sampling of California's many Native cultures, and although a few pieces are familiar classics, most are published here for the first time, in fresh literary translations. The translators, whether professional linguists or Native scholars and storytellers, are all acknowledged experts in their respective languages, and their introductions to each selection provide welcome cultural and biographical context. Augmenting and enhancing the book are Luthin's engaging, informative essays on topics that range from California's Native languages and oral-literary traditions to critical issues in performance, translation, and the history of California literary ethnography.
