Beskrivelse
This is a book created to be given. At its center is a poem by Charles Snell. In it the giver, in a series of concrete images, extends the recipient many good wishes. This Is My Wish for You is in the tradition of ancient blessings, in which one tries, through the power of language, to throw a mantle of protection and beneficence over the receiver. In our volume, the text is presented within borders made by Daniel Maclise. We have selected images to accompany each wish. These are made by a great variety of painters and illustrators, and range over more than 150 years. We assert, without exaggeration, that this is the nearly perfect gift book. . First published by Laughing Elephant in 1992, This Is My Wish for You has been consistently in print for the past 25 years, indicating its popularity and appeal to gift givers. In this, the 25th Anniversary edition, we have redesigned the cover and interiors, and improved the quality and feel of the overall book, while retaining the great art from the original.
