Christmas Eve at Swamp's End (Illustrated Edition)

This is a short-story from a collection about life in the Northwest. A young woman desperately wants a baby. Unfortunately, she isn't married, and her prospects of finding a husband in this VERY small community aren't good. She cares for other's children whenever she can -- "adopts" them, at least in her mind. But it isn't the same; she wants a baby of her own.

This edition of the book contains the ten original illustrations, rejuvenated.
