Mrs Scrooge, Another Night Before Christmas, The Christmas Truce, Wenceslas, Bethlehem, Dorothy Wordsworth's Christmas Birthday, The Wren-Boys, The King of Christmas, Pablo Picasso's Noël and Frost Fair are the poems that Professor Duffy while Poet Laureate gifted readers - an illustrated poem for every Christmas. She transports us one year from a frozen 17th century festival on the Thames, another to the Western Front to witness the famous 1914 truce, then to a sweet winter's night in the South of France with Pablo Picasso and his small dog. 'A sweet winter light blushed as Pablo Picasso walked with his dog under the cypress trees and the bell of the old chapel guessed at the hour. It was Christmas Eve. The scent of rosemary gifted the cold air and he felt his heart lift with a joie de vivre that had made his art the world's exuberant twin - everything to win...' 10 very gifted artists in bold full page spiced with wintery illustrations capture the magic many of us left behind in childhood alongside Duffy's spellbinding verse. A very glamorous foil trimmed jacket, 240pp.
