YOUNGER FICTION
Weller, Frances Ward

The Angel of Mill Street

(3) 1-3 Illustrated by Robert J. Blake. On Christmas Eve a little girl waits with her family for Uncle Ambrose, who is disabled, to make it home through a terrible snowstorm. He finally arrives, helped by an enormous black dog that he believes is his guardian angel. While the text tells of the girl's worries, the illustrations show Uncle Ambrose struggling along and being rescued. The art and text both present a satisfying holiday story.
