Bert Dodson

Celebrate the season with Willem Lange and Bert Dodson as they read and sign the modern, and classic, American Christmas folktale, Favor Johnson.

Favor Johnson lives on a small farm in the hills of Vermont. He keeps to himself, surrounded by dozens of animals, chickens, geese, and his one constant friend, a hound named Hercules. Then one Christmas Eve Hercules' life is saved by Favor's new neighbor, a doctor, and Favor's whole life - as well as the life of everyone in his village - is changed forever.

If you love Christmas and Christmas stories, please don't miss this celebration of both! Favor Johnson, by Willem Lange, was one of last year's runaway bestsellers. He's back for a return performance, and it's going to be just as hot this year. Bert Dodson, the illustrator who made the story come alive, will also be joining us. If you're not familiar with this children's title, come check it out. We'll have Willem's other (adult) titles on-hand, as well. The Christmas Mink, by John-Richard Thompson, is a wonderful collection of Christmas stories, and brings the spirit of the season alive. In this whimsical collection of Christmas stories and poems from the snowy north woods of New England, see the season in a new light, and find the holiday spirit in unlikely places – in Siberia, from the tail of the Christmas Comet, or even your own tree. It's a great gift! This event will also involve carolers and fruitcake. ... No, really! (bookconscious)… (més)
