Most anthologies repeat popular texts and verses.
There are heaps more things one can put into an anthology. So my anthologies followed themes so that I could get in all the bits I wanted to. The last in this group is Christmas Around the World. Unlike most books of this title which look at the customs today, this book looks at the traditions and customs of countries anything between 50 and 150 years ago, through the eyes of those who remembered or wrote about, the celebrations. Full of nostalgia.
