Here is a uniquely welcome gift for all who treasure the idea of an
old-fashioned Christmas. Take a Victorian-inspired journey through
the holiday as it was celebrated a century and more ago, beginning
in the cold snows of early December and ending with the departure
of guests on Christmas night. The book tells of games, gifts,
decorations, superstitions, beliefs, fashions, foods, and fun, all
presented in illustrated bursts of history combined with the
thoughts and poetry of the Victorians themselves. A visual treat,
richly peppered with vintage trade cards, greeting cards,
photographs, and artwork from period magazines for a scrapbook-like
kaleidoscope of colors and impressions, this is Christmas history
at its best and most playful. As Charles Dickens wrote, "it is good
to be children sometimes, and never better than at Christmas." A
value guide to the items shown makes this book a valuable resource
as well, offering guidance for new and seasoned collectors alike.
