This seasonal anthology contains a nice mixture of poetry, nature and travel pieces, and excerpts from longer works of fiction. Felicity Trotman, a freelance editor and member of the English Civil War Society, has arranged the material into three sections: 'The Old Year', 'Christmas, Sacred and Secular', and 'The New Year'. This creates an appropriate sense of chronological progression, and also serves to make Christmas the heart of the book. Black-and-white illustrations – maps, photographs and engravings – are interspersed throughout, and each author gets a short paragraph of biography and background.
This is one to keep on the coffee table each winter and dip into over the course of several years rather than read straight through.
Further reading suggestion: Two seasonal anthologies we can recommend are [[I'll Be Home For Christmas by Benjamin Zephaniah and Others]] and [[The Big Book of Christmas Mysteries by Otto Penzler (editor)]]. You might also enjoy [[Winter by Adam Gopnik]].
