About This Item
1st Canadian Edition (printed and bound in Canada, on the copyright page). Some wear on corners and bottom edges; a crease present on pages 3 to 15, possibly during the binding of the book (very doubtful if the pages were torn and then repaired because the text on these pages is too perfect). Still a Very Good copy in a Poor jacket with some chipping and repairs and discolouration. And still, it's nice to have the d.j. even in this condition. A perennial favourite.
Synopsis
Valentine Davies’ Miracle on 34th Street, the heart-warming holiday classic that gives generations of believers hope during the Christmas season, reached the screen and the bookshop at the same time. The best-selling novella about a disillusioned woman, her skeptical daughter, and a mysterious man who believes he is the real Santa Claus was originally written for the 1947 film with the same name, directed by George Seaton and John Payne, starring Maureen O'Hara, Natalie Wood, and Edmund Gwenn. Davies’ novella was published in conjunction with the film’s release. Generations of believers in hope and goodwill have made Valentine Davies’ Miracle on 34th Street a treasured part of their holiday traditions. Millions of copies of this award-winning story have sold since its first publication in 1947, delighting readers of all ages. A facsimile edition of the book is now faithfully re-created, offering a new generation--and fans of the original--the beauty of the classic 1940s design. Details of how the book came to be written, and made into a beloved film, are included in a brief historical note. -
