Heartwarming & nostalgic, but not sappy. Whimsical and clever but comfortably so. I loved the picture of Mr. Whiskers scrubbing the floors, and the seashell Christmas tree, and would have loved those even more when I was a child. And I do plan to try the Cranberry Cookies recipe - it looks perfect! no reviews | add a review

Originally published in 1976, Cranberry Christmas was the second of the Devlin's fifteen-volume picture-book series set in this quaint old New England town, located on the edge of a cranberry bog. Like its predecessor, it pairs an entertaining tale with charming, vintage illustrations. I enjoyed visiting with these characters again - although the second title in the series, this is the fourth I have read - and continue to find Mr. Whiskers, in particular, an amusing and appealing character. Suffering Codfish, as that gentleman would say - I need to track down more of these books! ( )
