The Queen Of The Holly Bush: Christmas Sketches is a collection of short stories written by Arthur Washington Hallen and originally published in 1862. The book consists of ten sketches, each one depicting a different aspect of Christmas in Victorian England. The stories range from heartwarming tales of family gatherings and charitable acts to humorous accounts of holiday mishaps and misadventures. One story follows a group of carolers as they go door to door in search of Christmas cheer, while another tells the story of a lonely old man who finds unexpected companionship on Christmas Eve.Throughout the book, Hallen weaves in themes of love, generosity, and the importance of community during the holiday season. His writing style is characterized by vivid descriptions and a keen eye for detail, immersing the reader in the sights, sounds, and smells of a Victorian Christmas.Overall, The Queen Of The Holly Bush: Christmas Sketches offers a charming and nostalgic glimpse into the traditions and customs of Christmas in 19th century England. It is a delightful read for anyone looking to get into the holiday spirit or to learn more about the history of Christmas celebrations.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
