“What could be a more delightful celebration than Miss Read’s illustrated selection of Christmas verse and prose? The much-loved author introduces a special illustrated collection of festive songs, stories, and evocations of the real old-fashioned English Christmas as it might be celebrated in her own Thrush Green.
All the time-honored traditions and merriment of the season are captured here, in holiday poems, extracts from novels and diaries (by such writers as Thomas Hardy and Dylan Thomas), delicious recipes for plum pudding and mulled wine - all blended with joyful Christmas carols and scenes from Miss Read’s own novels.
Enhanced by Tracey Williamson’s beautiful watercolors, this collection will be treasured by all of Miss Read’s devoted followers.”
Hardcover with dust jacket. Excellent condition
