Decking the Halls by Linda Allen
Of all the seasonal celebrations of the year, Christmas has more traditional plants with their accompanying legends and symbolism than any other season. Holly, ivy, mistletoe, the poinsettia, rosemary, the Yule log, and the most popular and recognised of all - the Christmas tree - each has its own fascinating legend and history. Many customs and traditions of the season are surrounded by an aura of mystery and magic. Drawing from ancient Druid, Celtic, Norse and Roman civilisations, along with Christian beliefs, myths have been created in an effort to explain the unexplainable. Decking the Halls explores the history of our popular Christmas plants and flowers during this most holy season. Pencil drawings complement the text.Linda Allen is an Adjunct Professor of Finance at the Stern School of Business at New York University and Professor of Finance at the Zicklin School of Business at Baruch College, City University of New York.
