The Little Big Book of Christmas is filled with everything needed for a joyous, old-fashioned celebration of Christmas. Open it and find classic Christmas poems and stories to read aloud, favorite carols to sing, and delicious recipes to make - all to share and treasure. The Little Big Book of Christmas's delightful illustrations, reminiscent of the simple beauty of a cozy, Victorian Christmas, cast their charm over poems, stories, songs, and treats. Jacketed Hardcover. Makes an excellent family gift.

Long out of print, the definitive Christmas anthology is back...deeply revised with new images, recipes, jacket, and introduction. Lavishly illustrated throughout with nineteenth- and twentieth-century artwork, this book is everything you want Christmas to be — loving, warm and celebratory. Timeless and adorable, beautifully designed, The Little Big Book of Christmas is a great big stocky little book—stuffed with stories to read, carols to sing, biblical verse to share, recipes to make and bake, and Christmas history and lore to learn.
