This is a stunningly packaged anthology of poems for the whole Christmas season. The collection is reflective, celebratory and humorous, with a particular focus on well-known modern poets, such as John Betjeman, Dylan Thomas, Wendy Cope and Benjamin Zephaniah, among many others.

This beautifully designed book contains well over 100 Christmas poems--old and new, traditional and modern--and features four sections, starting in winter, moving through Advent, and arriving at the Nativity and the heart of the Christmas season. Illustrations, many in color.

The winter landscape at Christmas, the story of the Nativity, the celebrations of the season and the coming of the New Year-these are explored through more than 120 poems, both old and new. Included in this wonderful illustrated collection are poems by Ted Hughes, John Betjeman, W.H Auden, Tomas Hardy, Michael Rosen and many, many more.
