This latest title in the hugely popular Anthology series is a treasure-trove of Christmassy facts from the natural world - each with their unique story to tell - from why the traditional Christmas tree is usually a pine, spruce or fir to the Yule Goat, a lively character found throughout Scandinavia who likes to demand gifts! Stunning photography and gorgeous illustrations complement storybook descriptions about each example, and children can uncover hundreds of fascinating facts as they read.

With foil on the cover, gilded edges, and a ribbon for keeping your place, An Anthology of Christmas makes an attractive gift for any child who can't get enough of the festival of Christmas, but with a unique, quirky approach - and it's perfect for young readers to explore by themselves or for bedtime stories.
