I received this as a Christmas gift in 2022 and have been impatiently waiting for Christmas to reappear so I could read it (as while it could be read at any point it really does manage to capture the spirit of Christmas making it perfect to read during the twelve days of festivities). It’s a great anthology full of poems, short stories, and clips taken from longer novels and diary entries dating back to Shakespeare and as present as Benjamin Zephaniah. Lots of treasures in this one!

This is a beautiful collection of stories, poems, and artwork about Christmas. It is a lovely book that I will read over and over again.
