by DYER, Kate Gambold
New York: Platt & Munk Co, 1942. Hardcover. Near Fine/Good. First edition. Illustrated by Janet Robson. Small quarto. Unpaginated. A little very modest wear at the spine ends, else near fine in about good dust jacket with some loss at the shallow crown, and several neat tape repairs to long tears. Stereotypical but relatively benign wartime children's book about a young Black boy with a beautiful voice who doesn't believe in Santa Claus. He goes on an adventure and finds out differently.
