It is Christmas Eve, 1799, and Dorothy Wordsworth is awake in the middle of the night. She stands outside in the winter cold, waiting patiently. When the day dawns, it will bring family and friends to Dorothy's door. For tomorrow is a double joy: tomorrow is her Christmas Birthday. Carol Ann Duffy's wonderful poem, "Dorothy Wordsworth's Christmas Birthday," transports us to the frozen landscape of the Lake District, where a joyful celebration is about to begin at the Wordsworths' home. Strikingly illustrated by Tom Duxbury, this festive poem captures the snowy Lake District as Dorothy celebrates her birthday with her brother, William Wordsworth, and fellow poet, Samuel Taylor Coleridge.
