Description

This festive new installment in The Little Book series explores more than 75 of the best-loved Christmas traditions from around the world. Presented in an elegant package with gilded edges and a ribbon marker, the entries range from the history of Christmas decorations (Christmas trees, lights, mistletoe) to profiles of religious figures (Mary and Joseph, Jesus, and the Three Kings) plus plenty of Santa Claus lore. Each entry consists of a descriptive paragraph and a full-colour artwork depicting joyous Christmas celebrations, winter wonderlands, and Christian holiday iconography - perfect for dipping in and out throughout the holiday season, year after year.
