Academy Award-winner William Goldman followed his much-loved Princess Bride (1973) with this charming children's story of a young girl named Susanna, her devoted pink blanket named Wigger, a bank-robbing Santa Claus, and Susanna's rescue thanks to a very determined "wind on a mission." With illustrations by Erroll Le Cain.

A fine inscribed copy.
