Kate Douglas Wiggin's signed presentation copy of her novel ''The Birds' Christmas Carol''. Boston & New York: Houghton Mifflin, 1888. Wiggin was an important reformer of children's education at the turn of the century, as the first person to found a free kindergarten school in San Francisco in 1878.

''The Birds' Christmas Carol'' tells the story of the angelic Carol Bird, a young girl born on Christmas, who tragically falls ill when she is five years old. Wiggin pens a quote on the front free endpaper, '''Never forget that your mother was a McGrill!' / Mrs. Ruggles / Page 47 / Kate Douglas Wiggin''. Illustrated book measures 5.25'' x 7.5''.
