"Poems for Christmas" is a wonderful gift anthology that will get you into the festive spirit. Part of the Macmillan Collector’s Library, a series of stunning pocket-sized books featuring special cover designs and ribbons. These beautiful books make perfect gifts or a treat for any book lover. This edition includes an introduction by Judith Flanders, author of "Christmas: A Biography".

Through the generations, poets such as William Shakespeare, Thomas Hardy, John Donne, and Christina Rossetti have been inspired to celebrate the festive season with verses. Just as we today appreciate the traditions of Christmas, so did the great poets beautifully write about the history of Christmas, enchanting winter landscapes, festive traditions, and the joy of the holidays. And of course, there are our favorite carols and songs from around the world that we still sing today, many of which are included in this magical collection of poems.
