Jo Beverley is one if my favorite historical writers.  This book shows off her skills in telling interesting and enlightening stories.  I really enjoyed learning about Christmas observances over different time periods.  I was surprised to find that Christmas trees were not a staple in English homes during the Regency period.  I loved the recipes and other tidbits of information Jo wrote at the end of the book.  Overall, I heartily recommend reading this book around Christmas time.
