Great Britain: Alan Sutton Publishing. Good. 1989. 1st Alan Sutton Edition. Soft Cover. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall 0862996414 Paperback Paperback. Ticks in margin in pen to a few pages. This book is an anthology of seasonal memories compiled from journals, novels, poems, local traditions, and historical events, illustrated with over forty photographs and engravings. In it you will find accounts of the merry-making season as far back as the fifteenth century when festivities were supervised by a Lord of Misrule, and of the consequent Puritan attempt to abolish Christmas, encasulated in John Evelyn's diary on the day he was abducted from a London chapel for attending 'Anti-Christ's masse'. Here too are the Christmas of Samuel Pepys, the reminiscences of Henry James and the thoughts of George Orwell; plus George Gissing's fictional comparison of two very different Christmases and an account of the decoration trade from Mayhew's classic nineteenth century social history London Labour and London Poor. There are also examples of Londoners - fictional or otherwise - escaping the urban chaos at Christmas, such as Mr. Pooter in A Diary of a Nobody, or Joyce Grenfell's ritual retreat to her cousins in Surrey; and conversely E. M. Dellafield's description in A Diary of a Provincial Lady of a Christmas shopping spree to London. There are also accounts of the frost fairs of the eighteenth century; London during the Blitz; the story of Norway's annual gift of a Christmas tree; plus a portrait of interepid Londoners who brace themselves for a Christmas day swim in the Serpentine each year. Illustrated. 158 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.) .
