An Anthology of Christmas

Description

Celebrate the magic of Christmas and discover the history of more than 50 yuletide traditions.

This latest title in the hugely popular Anthology series is a treasure-trove of Christmassy facts from the natural world—each with its unique story to tell. Learn why the traditional Christmas tree is usually a pine, spruce, or fir, and meet the Yule Goat, a lively character found throughout Scandinavia who likes to demand gifts!

Stunning photography and gorgeous illustrations complement the storybook descriptions about each example. Children can uncover hundreds of fascinating facts as they read. Did you know that the custom of kissing under the mistletoe originates from Norse mythology, or that the Christmas wreath has its origins from ancient times when people hung evergreen boughs over their doors and windows?

With foil on the cover, gilded edges, and a ribbon for keeping your place, An Anthology of Christmas makes an attractive gift for any child who can't get enough of the festival of Christmas. It offers a unique, quirky approach and is perfect for young readers to explore by themselves or for bedtime stories.
