Description
Father Christmas' ABC is a very special picture book that is an unusual and utterly enchanting ABC, entirely devoted to the theme of Christmas.
Q is for the Quadrille, danced at our party. R is for the Reindeer, of Santa Claus hearty.
Each of the twenty-six images opens a window onto festive celebration, from the lighting of the candles on the tree, to bell-ringing, ice skating, and making jam tarts. The images are of superb quality, bringing each event to life with vivid strokes and colour.
The accompanying verses tell simply but engagingly of a round of joyful activities that delighted young children. Together, they narrate the story of a child's Victorian Christmas, celebrated in the splendour and cosiness of the family home.
First printed in 1894, this beautiful book is sure to become a new children's classic, evoking Christmas of a bygone era with tremendous appeal and unrivalled charm.
