An eclectic collection of festive illustrations, engravings, aphorisms, verses, biblical passages and quizzes. A quite unique Christmas gift.
 
From a literary perspective this Pocket Book contains lines by Tennyson (The Time Draws Near the Birth of Christ), Shakespeare (When Icicles Hang by the Wall) and Hardy (The Oxen). But also, a passage from Luke (2:15), the Royal Family's recipe for Christmas pudding, fabled sayings from Sydney Smith and a series of riddles (for intellectual grandparents); all inset amongst beautiful engravings from Thomas Bewick and George Mackley.
