This is a book you will want to have when you daydream and take with you when you shop. With a revised Price Guide reflecting current values. AUTHOR: Mary Morrison and her husband, James, are avid and scholarly collectors of antique Christmas decorations. Together they also wrote the book Snow Babies, Santas and Elves.
