John S. Goodall. An
Edwardian Christmas (London: Macmillan, 1977) [Anon Collection]
This small attractively illustrated volume was acquired by
the library in 1999, through an anonymous donation originating in Galway City. The
artist John Strickland Goodall (1908-1996) is famous for his “wordless” books,
relying entirely on the illustrations to convey the story. This little volume
has a lengthy dedication to a former owner, part of which reads “I open it each
day at a different page and have it on display as part of my Christmas”.
