The Faber Book of Christmas
The Faber Book of Christmas | Simon Rae
6 posts | 1 read | 7 to read
If the most wonderful time of year is enough to plunge you into a gloom, look no further. This collection of spirited stories and vibrant poetry will brighten your mood as it brings together Charles Dickens and Philip Larkin, W.H.Auden and Wendy Cope, Jilly Cooper and Dylan Thomas. From tales of carolling and snatched mistletoe kisses to 'The Worst Christmas Dinner, Ever', there's something here to amuse and interest Christmas lovers, grinches, and everyone in between.

I am posting one book per day from my extensive to-be-read collection. No description and providing no reason for wanting to read it, I just do. Some will be old, some will be new. Don‘t judge me - I have a lot of books. Join the fun if you want.
This is day 41

#StuffedStockingSwap @sweetpealsd LaToya what a wonderful time I had openning all the boxes and loving all that you selected! I really love the Scandanavian Christmas items this year and how lucky I am to have the wonderful stocking and Gnome- they are fabulous!!! The books are just right and absolutely beautiful💖 I have seen the Novel Teas and now I have my own to savor in my great mug from”this could be wine”, bookmark as well- all is perfect😍

Booksnchill @LeahBergen yes- it was on my wish list when I saw it on the channel of a UK booktuber- even more stunning in real life!💖 6y

Avanders Hello! Your #sss secret sender wants you to know: you have about four other packages that for some reason weren‘t delivered with the one you received today, but should be there by tomorrow! (Ie, this is part of your #stuffedstockingswap gift ☺️) 6y
Booksnchill @Avanders thanks- I did wonder if this were the case! Lovely surprise! Thanks! 6y
