Review of A Literary Christmas by Assorted artists.
This is a lovely
Christmas book. There are poems and excerpts from all sorts of books,old
and
modern.The illustrations are also very attractive from "The Night Before
Christmas" to
Wind in the Willows" and the carollers at the Mole'
Muchs
little house.Dickens features here, also
Laurie Lee.Benjamin Zephaniah also
appears with his poem which starts "Be nice to yu
turkeys dis Christmas"
suggesting that we should not always thinks of them as eatable!The last
few
pages bring in the New Year with poems from Shelley, Herrick, Thomas Hood
and
Tennyson. All in all there is something for everyone including some
religious ones which
are very special. All in all there is something for
everyone here. Highly recommended!!!
