The Secret History of Christmas by Catherine Saunders
The perfect gift for curious minds this Christmas! The Secret History of Christmas invites readers to unwrap the stories, discoveries and remarkable moments that have shaped December 25th through the centuries.
Travel from the dramatic coronation of William the Conqueror in 1066 and the World War One Christmas truce of 1914, to the launch of the James Webb telescope and daring festive heists. Along the way, encounter quirky Christmas and winter traditions from Vikings, Mayans and more, explore foods and festivities from around the world, and see the big day in a whole new light.
Packed with fascinating facts, incredible events and little-known true stories, this beautifully illustrated hardback is a brilliant stocking filler for young historians and families alike.
