Forlagsbeskrivelse af Old Christmas af Washington Irving
This elegant gift edition brings together Washington Irving''s five Christmas stories in a single volume, presented with a delightful gold-embossed cover design, gilded page edges and original illustrations. Originally published in 1819-20 and illustrated by Randolph Caldecott, the five stories in Old Christmas describe English traditions of Christmas and recount the festivities that Irving experienced while visiting Aston Hall, (here known as ''Bracebridge Hall''), a Jacobean mansion near Birmingham, UK. ''Christmas'' reflects on the meaning of Christmas and the ceremonies and festivities that attend it. ''The Stage Coach'' follows the protagonist as he spends Christmas eve in a small town during a coach stop. ''Christmas Eve'', ''Christmas Day'' and ''The Christmas Dinner'' recount Irving''s memories at Aston Hall, including the sumptuous banquet and joyful family time of the Christmas dinner. Featuring original black and white illustrations by Randolph Caldecott, these nostalgic recollections of Christmas traditions in 19th century England are a perfect way to celebrate the true meaning of Christmas. ABOUT THE SERIES: Arcturus Ornate Classics are beautifully bound editions of iconic literary works across history. These compact, foil-embossed hardbacks are printed using deluxe ivory paper and make the perfect gift.
