Produktbeschreibung

A fun-packed, festive anthology to help everyone relive the joy of Christmas through a child's eyes From Washington Irving's Christmas Day in 1820 to the 20th century, this lively illustrated anthology recreates the spirit of childhood Christmases past. E.H. Shepard humorously recalls recycling Christmas cards, a popular practice following the first seasonal card in 1843, and Quentin Blake vividly captures the yearly creation of the Christmas Pudding. Clement C. Moore's famous poem "The Night Before Christmas" evokes childhood memories, and readers share the delight of Fanny Longfellow's children who every year received letters from a very busy Santa Claus. Recalling the novelty of snowman-building, tree-decorating, parties, and mistletoe; sympathizing with the agonizing task of thank-you letters, and the unrelieved joy of receiving notes from Father Christmas; Anne Harvey gathers together a delightful festive collection that will appeal to children and adults everywhere.
