Today's Christmas book is another that's been on my shelves for as long as I can remember.
A Christmas Scrapbook compiled by Elizabeth Walter and published in 1979
Each page has an illustration of a Victorian Christmas card and some history of all the traditions that we know today.
I doubt you'd find a New Years card in 2020 featuring a dead turkey!
Christmas returning after being banned in 1652 featuring on a Victorian card 200 years later

Now that looks like a nice book :-)
ReplyDeleteWhat an interesting book. I'd love to dip into that one.
ReplyDeleteMy "murder" book has just arrived. Thank you so much. I'm looking forward to reading it and hopefully it'll help get me in the Christmas mood! xx
What a beautiful cover on the book. x
ReplyDeleteMy book has arrived this afternoon - it looks like a real treat with some very good authors so I will probably read one a day at bedtime. Thanks again - it is really very kind of you.
ReplyDeleteHope you have a good week - a glorious day here after a terribly wet weekend. Vicki
