Last week, I posted a thread, TMP link , introducing one of my favorite Christmas books I have in my collection; a vintage childrens' story about toy soldiers coming to life on Christmas Eve. Though there is no publication date, it is inscribed on the title page, "Roger Hill 1926". It is a small volume, measuring only 5" x 4.5".
It is interesting to note that the artist had some knowledge of the toy soldiers he drew, as many of the poses pictured are very similar to a variety of semi-round lead soldiers that were available at the time. These were often cast by small manufacturers, or Mom & Pop dime store owners, from commercially available German molds, and sold individually or in boxed sets.
I will be running the story in three parts on my blog. The first part was last week and can be found here:

The second part is now posted here:
link I plan to post the third part next Tuesday. Here's some samples from this week's installment:
