THIS IS MY WISH FOR YOU - 25TH ANNIVER- SARY EDITION
By Charles Livingston Snell
In This Is My Wish for You the book giver wish- es upon the recipient many good wishes. First published by Laughing Elephant in 1992, This Is My Wish for You has been consistently in print for the past 25 years, indicating its popularity and appeal to gift givers. In this, the 25th Anni- versary edition, we have redesigned the cover and interiors, and improved the quality and feel of the overall book, while retaining the great art from the original.
With over 250,000 copies of the book in print, the Deluxe 25th Anniversary Edition of This Is My Wish for You is a well-remembered classic which will be purchased and given again and again between friends and loved ones.
At its center is a poem by Charles Snell. In it the giver, in a series of concrete images, extends the recipient many good wishes.
This Is My Wish for You is in the tradition of an- cient blessings, in which one tries, through the power of language, to throw a mantle of protec- tion and beneficence over the receiver.
In our volume, the text is presented within bor- ders made by Daniel Maclise. We have selected images to accompany each wish. These are made by a great variety of painters and illustra- tors, and range over more than 150 years. We assert, without exaggeration, that this is the nearly perfect gift book.
