5.0 out of 5 stars Christmas Spirit, 21 Nov 2002
By Stephanie June Sorrell (chichester, west Sussex United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
If you have been wondering where the Christmas Spirit has gone recently, then expect to be captured by it in this superb book. What a banquet of literary expertise and wit, both classic and modern !

Here, there is something for everyone from mouth watering recipes by the original Isabelle Beeton to Rachel Ferguson’s 'Memoirs of a Fir Tree'. Then there are Christmas stories and personal accounts from writers as diverse as Christina Rossetti , Virginia Woolf, Freya Stark, Winifred Foley and Sue Townsend.

Expect to be seduced and touched by the Norwegian writer, Cora Sandel’s romantic tale of a struggling artist’s Christmas. Additionally, there is a section on mischief for those who appreciate how difficult Christmas can be and enjoy the humour of Jenny Éclair and Janet Hills who begins with; “Before I give myself over to Christmas good will, I am making a list of the people whom I would like to murder…..”

The splendid cover aptly portrays the diversity of content; a modern angel riding her bicycle into the twenty first century, linking Christmas Past with Christmas Now. An excellent and refreshing read.
