Lose yourself in the magic of Christmas with this enchanting treasury, beautifully illustrated by Raymond Briggs, creator of The Snowman and Father Christmas.

Step into a world of candlelit evenings, crackling fires, snowy mornings, steaming plum puddings and stories shared with the people you love. Here, beloved classics sit alongside forgotten festive treasures, from Dickens, Shakespeare, Laurie Lee and Paddington, to anonymous carols, folklore and seasonal curiosities-each one capturing a different joy of Christmas and waiting to be discovered anew.

Beautifully redesigned, this enchanting collection brings together Raymond Briggs' much-loved illustrations with timeless writing to create the perfect companion for the holidays - to read aloud, dip into on wintry afternoons and return to every December.
