商品簡介 |
A witty and entertaining anthology of royal merry making over the centuries Through princely diaries, letters, and journals, and the eyes of outside observers, this anthology eavesdrops on royal festivities over many centuries and demonstrates that the present-day festival has much deeper roots than Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, who are usually given credit for inventing it--with a little help from Charles Dickens. Stories range from William the Conqueror's Christmas Day coronation; Thomas Becket's murder; Queen Victoria and Albert's first Christmas tree through to Queen Elizabeth II's visit to the United States during the bicentennial celebrations. Delightful Victorian engravings depict Christmases in royal palaces past in this collection packed with extracts from T.S. Eliot, Robert Graves, Simon Schama, Elizabeth Longford, and many others. |
