Chatting Books Online Day 264. Today's recommended book is "Dickens and Christmas". by Lucinda Hawksley.
This book tells the tale of a place and a person who have in many ways shaped how we celebrate Christmas today. Charles Dickens had a special affinity for Christmas, so much so that he wrote about it in not only "A Christmas Carol" but also in other novellas he wrote during the same time period. What was his connection to Christmas? How was Christmas celebrated in this time of social change and how did the changes that took place in Dickens time influence our celebration today? All of these questions are answered in this book which was written by one of Charles Dicken's direct descendants. After reading this book you will not only have a better understanding of the writer, Charles Dickens, who has been such an important literary voice; but you will have a better understanding of the man, the era, and the holiday. Such an interesting book . Pair it with the replica first edition of "A Christmas Carol" recommended earlier this week and you will have a gift any fan of literature and /or Christmas will certainly enjoy.
