Reviews
"Christmas sits among us like a familiar member of the family - but its history, as told here, is a story-and-a-half. A brilliant book." - Jeremy Vine * Source TBC *
"If you don't know what to get someone for Christmas, and would like to know how you're in this position in the first place - this funny and interesting book could solve both your problems at once." - Milton Jones * Source TBC *
