Description
'It was always said of him, that he knew how to keep Christmas well, if any man alive possessed the knowledge.' - A Christmas Carol Ebeneezer Scrooge, Tiny Tim, Jacob Marley, and the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Future - Charles Dickens created some of our most famous Christmas characters. Nearly two hundred years later we still often label him as the 'man who invented Christmas', but how did Dickens and his peers celebrate and write about the festive season? In this delightful compilation we gain a new perspective on both Dickens' life and how the industrious Victorians forged many festive traditions we still celebrate today. Featuring extracts from The Pickwick Papers, writings from contemporaries like William Thackery and Edgar Allen Poe and even a recipe or two, as the season draws near, we invite you to step back in time and explore the delights of a Victorian Christmas through the eyes of a literary icon. Bah Humbug!
