Product Description

Product Description
The Christmas season was a highlight of the country house calendar. Social barriers between master and servant were loosened, family intrigues stalked the dinner table, romantic hopes were dashed or realized, and the multi-layered community which lived on and around the great estate drew together to reanact the annual cycle of custom and tradition. Including extracts from Dickens, Evelyn Waugh, Washington Irving and Henry James, as well as first hand accounts from diaries, letters and account books, this book recounts Christmas as it was celebrated in the stately homes of England and Wales.

3.0 out of 5 stars It's OK, but not quite Christmas, 20 May 2009
This book goes through a lot of stuff but it never seemed to get me involved in anything. Maybe I was looking for too much? As I get older I keep looking for books to read about the "ideal" Christmas of past times, and I keep on buying books in the hope they will give me some satisfaction. I know some people will think, "Oh, he's looking for some sort of dreamworld!" and to that I would honestly have to answer, "Yes, I am!"

I've not found it yet. Any hints most gratefully accepted.
