A Tudor Christmas by Alison Weir and Siobhan Clarke

Christmas in Tudor times was a period of feasting, revelry and merrymaking `to drive the cold winter away'. A carnival atmosphere presided at court, with a twelve-day-long festival of entertainments, pageants, theatre productions and `disguisings', when even the king and queen dressed up in costume to fool their courtiers.

Beautifully illustrated with original line drawings throughout, this enchanting book will fascinate anyone with an interest in Tudor life - and anyone who loves Christmas.
