U.A. Fanthorpe's Christmas Poems gathers together the poems she
wrote and sent to friends as Christmas cards from 1974 to 2002. Now
readers can enjoy Fanthorpe's yearly output in its entirety. Her
subject matter covers a broad range of seasonal characters, from
angels to personified Christmas trees, and a variety of styles to
match, from moments of beautiful lyricism to the comically touching
Gloucestershire foxes begging baby Jesus to visit: 'Come live wi we
under Westridge / Where the huntin folk be few'. Fanthorpe is witty
and highly original, rethinking the Christmas story from quirky
angles, to create her own alternative Christmas legend from the cat
and the sheep-dog left out of the stable, to the wicked fairy's
gifts for Jesus. Above all, these poems are celebrations of
Christmas joy and love."
