On Christmas: A Seasonal Anthology

‘This compact little book, handsomely produced, includes some enterprising choices, ranging from the Koran to Ali Smith, and concluding with an essay by P.G. Wodehouse, “Just What I Wanted”, that was published in Vanity Fair in 1915 but remains perfectly apposite today.’ Evening Standard This delightful anthology – described by Gyles Brandreth as ‘a plum pudding stuffed with good things’ – offers an array of writers both old and new who have expressed their thoughts about Christmas with joy, nostalgia, grumpiness and wit. The perfect Christmas gift, it includes excerpts from Dickens, Dostoevsky, P. G. Wodehouse, Kathy Lette, Ali Smith, Will Self and Queen Victoria. Devour in one sitting or savour at your leisure through the long, winter nights. Hardback, clothbound with ribbon marker 192 pages
