a really beautiful illustration of Santa Claus or Father Christmas in his suit trimmed with ermine, carrying a huge sack full of toys and blowing his trumpet to let everyone know he has arrived. Lots of wee boys and girls are climbing out of the chimney pots to see what the commotion is - a really lovely period illustration by the wonderful Hilda CowhamOver the roofs of the sleeping town Comes Father Christmas, in fur-trimmed gown
Widest of smiles on his jolly face
He blows his trumpet, and all the place
Is swarming with children - out they pop
By twos and threes from each chimney top.
Their mothers think they are safe in bed,
But not at all, they are here instead
For who in the cosiest cot could lie
When Father Christmas is coming by?
"Dear Father Christmas, oh Father dear,"
They all of the calling, "come here, come here!".
