It's Christmas Eve in Maine, and Miss Moody and her boarders Millie and Emery-as well as her pup Smittens-are all tucked into bed, when out in the barnyard there arises such a clatter…! Turns out that Santa's reindeer have come down ill and need a chance to recuperate. Thanks to some old—fashioned down—on—the—farm ingenuity, Santa gets back on schedule with the help of a motley but willing crew like none you've ever dreamed of.
Douglas Coffin, with a background in graphic design, produced his nationally syndicated cartoon strip "Fletcher's Landing" in the early 1980s. He published editorial cartoons in a weekly paper for 20 years while also working as a commercial illustrator, typographer and art director. In 1987 he began his career as a lettercutter in stone, hand—carving memorials, donor walls and building dedications. He also demonstrates and teaches the history of letterforms and the alphabet. One Maine Christmas Eve originally appeared, in a slightly altered state, in 1978 in The Maine Times. This is his first book. Douglas lives in Stockton Springs, Maine.
