JOHNSON, SIDDIE JOE - Rabbit FiresJOHNSON, SIDDIE JOE Rabbit Fires
Highland Press, Boerne, TX, 1951, 1st Stated Ed. Paperback, Ill: Emilie Toepperwein. Every Easter, for more than a 100 years, the Easter fires have burned on the hills that surround the town of Fredericksburg, Texas. It is the Easter Rabbit and his helpers, the older people say, boiling flower-dyes to color the eggs to fill the Easter nests that the children make of grass and flowers. This is the story a pioneer Mother told her frightened children on seeing these fires and thinking they were Indian camp fires. Against this background, and against the background of the German customs of the people of Fredericksburg, the author has woven a delicate fantasy of springtime and childhood, a story of and for the age when, as the Rabbit whose name was Oster says, ''It is the time to believe.'' Children's story, illustrated by Emilie Toepperwein. 32 Pgs. Description text copyright 2007. Nr Fine in Chipped DJ. Sm tear in DJ at top front flap, price clipped. Book in excellent condition. Paper DJ. Oblong..
