On a frosty winter evening, the Baron watches the snowfall. He is tired and anxious, as Christmas approaches and everything is very quiet. What can he do to bring excitement to the Manor?
His wife, the Baroness, has an idea: he can appoint a King of Christmas, a villager who will take his place. Thus begins twelve days of chaos, anarchy, and revelry . . .
Inspired by the medieval tradition of appointing a Lord of Misrule, Carol Ann Duffy's warm and enchanting Christmas poem takes us into a world of festivity and celebration, where rules no longer apply. With beautiful full-color illustrations by Lara Hawthorne, The King of Christmas is the perfect gift this holiday season.
