My true love sent to me - a Jane Ray book!
14 Nov 2011
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
Lush and wonderfully colorful, in inimitable Jane Ray style the "story" told in the lyrics of this traditional Christmas song unfolds. I especially love how the eleven pipers piping make me grin! Exquisitely detailed pages to savor, it's festive feast of a book, to be treasured by young and old.
Will make a fabulous gift - hope someone gives it to me, as I am giving my copy away!

I wasn't waiting for my true love to get this for me for Christmas!
17 Dec 2011
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
I had to buy myself this one for Christmas. I was not taking the chance that someone would get it for me. Jane Ray's art is so magical, it makes me so happy. She always knocks it out of the ball park every time. I keep imagining what it would be like if she painted a whole room for me to live in. I would never leave that room. The colors dance across the page with the most exquisite details, everything accented in that lovely gold. Folksy, exotic, just wonderful. I have a collection of Christmas picture books and love to have some of our favorite songs in an illustrated version. I purchased Jane Ray's The Dollhouse Fairy for my youngest daughter for Christmas. We'll have a good time, her and I, getting lost in the pages of our books.
This book is truly ambrosia for eyes and spirit!
14 Feb 2012
Format:Hardcover
This book is truly ambrosia for eyes and spirit! Oversized at 9.5 by 12, it makes a huge statement with its pink cover, maroon lettering and green pear tree laden with colorful presents. Telling the story of the well-known carol and the gifts a young woman receives from her true love during the twelve days of Christmas, animals, rings and people are poignantly and endearingly portrayed, if not somewhat humorously! The pipers piping include men and women playing an array of pipes from many lands, as is so with the drummers. The lords a-leaping are dressed in morning tuxedos, top hats, cravats and colorful vests--they're leaping on the rooftops! The best spread is the nine ladies dancing: gaily dressed flappers, all in a different array, doing a routine on a tugboat. A perfect book to own, because it begs to be looked at over and over again, you won't want to archive this to the library's holiday collection, but let it be enjoyed year round.
