Christmas by Judith Flanders
The acclaimed author of The Victorian House and The Victorian City tells the story of the celebration of Christmas, from mummers' plays to the invention of Sellotape, revealing much fascinating new information and shattering many myths.
Flanders covers every aspect of Christmas. . [Christmas: A Biography] is . . . a catalogue of colourful information, and as surprising an assortment of items as any you might find heaped up under a tree. * Observer *
A well-researched account. There are more footnotes here than there are presents under a Rockefeller Christmas tree. Indeed, the book is stuffed with facts – enough to satiate even the most ravenous postprandial taste for quizzing. * Sunday Times *
