Nate Gadol can make anything last longer - just as long as you need it. And his magical powers come in pretty handy during the harsh winters, when Hanukkah gifts for the children are hard to come by. Well-known children's author Arthur A. Levine joins the Candlewick list for the first time with this charming holiday hybrid story, a mythical take on how some Jewish families came to give and receive Hanukkah gifts in the way that many of their Christian neighbors did - but with the loving and magical holiday spirit named Nate Gadol behind the scenes rather than Santa Claus!

This book examines those railways in Britain that served industry and had a track gauge smaller than the British 'standard gauge' of 4 feet 81/2 inches. Whether they were temporary contractor's lines or more permanent installations, these meandering, often poorly maintained railways have a special fascination. This book deals in turn with the locomotives, the rolling stock and the track, describing their development. It pays tribute to the inventors of an earlier age and to the more recent groups of enthusiasts who have been keeping the 'narrow' tradition alive. About the author Ian Dean was appointed founder Director of the Amberley Working Museum, Sussex in 1979. Developing this new open-air museum involved the incorporation of a major collection of narrow-gauge equipment. In 1989 he became Managing Director of the Mid Hants Railway, later a freelance consultant. He is now retired.
