--Disappointing--,
By
This review is from: Miss Read's Christmas Book (Hardcover)
MISS READ'S CHRISTMAS BOOK is a compilation of Bible quotations, poetry, Christmas Carols, diary excerpts and extracts from various Christmas stories.
I did find a few of my personal favorites here, along with some writings that I was not familiar with. Christiana Rossetti is represented with two of her beautiful poems. Writings by Thomas Hardy, Dylan Thomas and Charles Dickens are also presented. The illustrations by Tracey Williamson are very attractive. Although the book had diverse readings, I felt that it was a little disjointed. I expected to find a forward from Miss Read, but there wasn't any. I had the feeling that this book was put together in a rather commercial way. I didn't find the satisfaction that I was looking for and, overall, the book was a disappointment for me.
