Celebrate the natural wonders of Christmas in this gorgeous gift book packed with stunning photography and festive illustrations.

The ninth book in the bestselling Children’s Anthologies series, An Anthology of Christmas explores some of the most amazing Christmassy facts from the natural world.

Children aged 7-9 can discover things like why the traditional Christmas tree is usually a pine, spruce or fir, in this impressive collection that showcases hundreds of fascinating facts about Christmas. Beautiful photography and illustrations complement storybook descriptions, teaching children all about this magical time of year.

This magical Christmas anthology for kids offers:

  • A wide selection of Christmas facts featured throughout, accompanied by beautiful photographs and illustrations.
  • The 9th book in the bestselling Children’s Anthologies series, selling more than 40,000 copies in the UK.
  • A quality gift book, with metallic foil all over, a ribbon and striking photographs on every page.

Did you know that the custom of kissing under the mistletoe originates from Norse mythology, or that the Christmas wreath has its origins from ancient times when people hung evergreen boughs over their doors and windows?

With foil on the cover, gilded edges, and a ribbon for keeping your place, An Anthology of Christmas makes an attractive gift for any child who can’t get enough of the festival of Christmas, but with a unique, quirky approach - and it’s perfect for young readers to explore by themselves or for bedtime stories.

Auriol Bishop is a storyteller from London whose favourite stories are about nature. Her father once gave Father Christmas a ride into town in his pony and cart, so perhaps it’s no surprise that she grew up to write books about Christmas! As well as DK’s beautiful An Anthology of Christmas, she is the author of Christmas is Coming: A Treasury of Simple Ways to Celebrate Festive Days. And look out for her winter storybook The Bear Who Loved the Moon, also published by DK, with irresistible illustrations by Alice Courtley.
