Description
|
|
|
|
Decorated on nearly every page with color and black and white reproductions of 19th-century illustrations, Christmas cards, and ornaments, as well as photos of table settings, roasts, Christmas cookies, and other delights, this book reveals how many of the traditions we enjoy today were invented in Victorian Britain. Anna Selby tells how prominent figures like Charles Dickens and Prince Albert shaped the British Christmas, while printers and special postage rates made Christmas cards enormously popular. The book also features more than 65 Victorian recipes for Christmas puddings and other foods for the feast, authentic wassails, and seasonal sweets.
