Synopsis "Father Christmas' ABC"

Q is the Quadrille, danced at our partyR is for the Reindeer, of Santa Claus hearty W is for waggon laden with holly X is for Xmas tree all light and toys jolly The celebration of Christmas throughout history is marked by rich traditions around the globe, yet British festive customs--exchanging gifts, singing carols, trimming the magnificent tree, and sipping wassail--take pride of place in our imaginations. Allowing us a glimpse of some of these customs is a facsimile edition of an Father Christmas' ABC, an1894 Victorian classic that chronicles the activities surrounding the holiday more than a century ago. Each charming color painting, one for each letter of the alphabet, reveals a custom of a Victorian Christmas. From the lighting of candles on the tree to bell ringing, ice skating, and making jam tarts, the beautiful illustrations vividly bring to life the spirit of the holiday and its history. Accompanying the illustrations are clever ABC verses that at the time were an alphabet primer and now are an intimate glimpse of Victorian domestic life. The lively verse recounts various holiday traditions, transporting us to the warmth and cozy comfort of a British home at Christmastime. Together, the rich illustrations and captivating verses create a unique and enchanting picture book on the special moments of Christmas. Father Christmas' ABC will appeal to readers of all ages as a nostalgic window into Christmases of a bygone time.
