Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Published last year to great acclaim, this superb treasury of 30 seasonal tales, 10 of which were written especially for this collection, is now available in paperback.

The traditional Christmas characters and customs that children know and love are all here — Grandfather Frost, Mr. Pickwick, The Snowman, carol-singing, and the birth of Jesus — along with some more contemporary themes. Authors include Shirley Jackson, Laurie Lee, Charles Dickens and Sue Townsend ("Adrian Mole's Christmas").
