Gift of Christmas
A 1972 Christmas memoir by Myra Scovel, gathering family traditions, recipes, crafts and poems from a missionary life across Iran, China and upstate New York for a general American religious readership. The line drawings are spare pen sketches—a hand writing in an open book beneath a candlelit pine bough, repeated as a chapter head above place-and-date lines, and a flat outline angel with halo and scalloped hem—useful as simple holiday spot art, datelines and coloring-book shapes.
