Description
We often assume that Christmas owes everything to the Victorians. In fact, as Alison Weir and Siobhan Clarke reveal, carol-singing, present-giving, mulled wine and mince pies were all just as popular in Tudor times, and even Father Christmas and roast turkey dinners have their origins in this period. Beautifully illustrated with original line drawings throughout, this enchanting compendium of facts, curiosities, recipes, poems, carols and more will fascinate anyone with an interest in Tudor life - and anyone who loves Christmas.
