Więcej o książce
Immerse yourself in a literary wonderland with this collection of timeless Christmas tales. Charles Dickens once noted the magic in the very name of Christmas. This anthology captures the essence of the season, showcasing the joy of carols, festive food, and the warmth of gatherings, alongside the melancholies and injustices that can accompany the holidays. Featuring works from some of the world’s finest authors, including Dickens, Arthur Conan Doyle, Anthony Trollope, and Alice Munro, this collection reflects on what Christmas means to us. Among the stories included are ‘Carol-Barking’ from Laurie Lee’s Cider With Rosie, ‘Obadiah Oak, Mrs Griffiths and the Carol Singers’ by Louis de Bernières, and ‘The Turkey Season’ by Alice Munro. Other notable pieces include ‘Christmas at Thompson Hall’ by Trollope, ‘Christmas Shopping’ from Anne Enright’s The Green Road, and ‘A Conscience Pudding’ by E. Nesbit. The anthology also features ‘Christmas at Cold Comfort Farm’ by Stella Gibbons, ‘There Never Was Such a Goose’ from A Christmas Carol by Dickens, and ‘Let Nothing You Dismay’ by Helen Simpson, among others. Vintage Minis presents the world’s greatest writers on the experiences that define our humanity—from birth to death and everything in between.
