Little Fir Tree

A single, self-contained 1942 comic from W. T. Grant, Little Fir Tree adapts Hans Christian Andersen's classic tale into a tender, full-color storybook. Walt Kelly, best known for his later Pogo strip, both wrote and illustrated this gentle, seasonal fable about a tree that dreams of a greater purpose. It's a charming, early example of Kelly's warm, expressive style, offering a heartfelt holiday read that has quietly endured.
