This is a stunningly packaged anthology of poems for the whole Christmas season from Advent, through Christmas and the New Year and ending with the promise of spring. The collection is reflective, celebratory, thought-provoking, and humorous, with a particular focus on well-known modern poets, such as John Betjeman, John Masefield, Walter de la Mare, Gerard Manley Hopkins, Dylan Thomas, Wendy Cope, Seamus Heaney, and Benjamin Zephaniah, among many others. With beautiful colour illustrations throughout, this collection makes a perfect gift at Christmas.
