From Booklist
Eight traditional British and American pieces are well interpreted in comics form here. Florence Cestac adds twenty-first-century cartoon figures to Clement C. Moore’s poem “A Visit from St. Nicholas,” while Cynthia Martin draws an O. Henry story with expressions and costuming of the original writer’s period. Rick Geary is a spot-on choice to draw Fitz-James O’Brien’s “The Wondersmith,” one of several pieces editor Pomplun himself adapted for this volume. The variety of art styles and solid selection choices make this entry in the Graphic Classics line essential for Collections that include holiday books for teens and adults. Grades 7-12. --Francisca Goldsmith
Reader Reviews"This is the ghost of Graphic Classics past,...." "Present" "And future" In unison, they chanted. "You will love this volume." And guess what, after I woke up from my dream, I did. Tom Pomplun has assembled a book that combines the classy Christmas Carol with the timeless "Visit From St Nicholas." In between, the holiday season is interrupted with A Letter From Santa Claus Christmas Carol Visit From St Nicholas Adventure of the Blue Carbuncle Chapparal Christmas Gift Strategy of the Werewolf Dog Luckless Santa Claus Wondersmith One of the best things about this volume is the variety of authors. I did not know that O Henry wrote such a great story, or that F Scott Fitzgerald penned an insightful tale, and had forgotten that the Carbuncle was a yuletide adventure. Forget the fact that the Chapparal is a masterful adaptation and illustrated superbly, this is one gift to readers all over the market. As with all Graphic Classics, there is no shortchanging of quality and this book is all color on high gloss paper. This series is one of the great undiscovered secrets of the industry. May it not be hidden much longer, Pompluns' work begs for kudos and intelligent readers of all ages need to have at least ONE of his books. Tim Lasiuta
