More about the book
This delightful little book celebrates Christmas in the Victorian manner - it was, after all, the Victorians who established many of the Christmas traditions we take for granted today - the plum pudding, the holly, the carol singers, the Christmas tree, the exchange of gifts.All these aspects of Christmas are charmingly reflected in colourful Victorian cards and illustrations that Celia Haddon has chosen; accompanying them are uplifting poems by Tennyson and others such as would be read aloud at Christmas by Victorian fathers.The whole book has been designed to look like an authentic 19th century work; and it makes a perfect gift for everyone at Christmas time.
