Description: A Literary Christmas by British Library A Literary Christmas is a seasonal anthology collecting poems, short stories and prose extracts by some of the greatest poets and writers in the English language. With a new cover by Sinem Erkas. FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description This seasonal compendium collects together poems, short stories, and prose extracts by some of the greatest poets and writers in the English language. Like Charles Dickenss ghosts of Christmas Past and Present, they are representative of times old and new--from John Donnes Elizabethan hymn over the baby Jesus to Benjamin Zephaniahs "Talking Turkeys," from Thomas Tusser counting the cost of a Tudor feast to P. G. Wodehouses wry story about Christmas on a diet. Enjoy a Christmas Day as described by Samuel Pepys, Anthony Trollope, George Eliot, or Nancy Mitford. Venture out into the snow in the company of Jane Austen, Henry James, and Dickenss Mr. Pickwick. Entertain the children with the seasonal tales of Dylan Thomas, Kenneth Grahame, and Oscar Wilde. Notes Available here in a new edition with an appealing metallic cover design, this collection of Christmas poems, short stories and prose extracts draws from the festive moments of Jane Austen, G.K. Chesterton, Thomas Hardy and many others. Author Biography British Library Publishing produces fascinating and beautiful books related to the Librarys uniquely rich collections.
