1 The gospels according to St Luke and St John, Authorised King James Version
This is a gorgeous article and had to pass it on. Christmas = Books for me as well. Always used to get the School Friend annual each year and the latest Enid Blyton. I remember the year I was given a copy of Ballet Shoes and oh how I loved it and how I wanted to be Pauline (never Posy thought she was too full of herself). Every Christmas I always make sure I have a book saved especially for the holiday season no matter what. And this year I am taking a boxful of books to London for my darling Florence.
Some of these are books she will enjoy in the next few years, others such as The Secret Garden and Wind in the Willows will await her pleasure and mine as I will want to read them to her.
To paraphrase the opening of Little Women 'Christmas wouldn't be Christmas without any books'...
