As a ardent fan of Nantucket "style" and history, I can't be more delighted that the author has compiled a book devoted to the charms of a Nantucket Christmas! The copy and beautiful color photographs share all the beauty and uniqueness of the special holiday season on this "faraway" isle. In addition to sharing the special ambiance that is Nantucket, creative ideas abound in this book for bringing a bit of a Nantucket holiday to your own home. Thank you, Leslie Linsley, for a book I will treasure for many years to come!!

This holiday gift book provides readers with insight into celebrating Christmas on Nantucket Island off the coast of Massachusetts. The two centuries old houses look terrific as they are made festive for the Yuletide season. The numerous color photos by Jeffrey Allen enable the reader to see first hand why this is a popular sight during Christmas, almost as much as it is a summer getaway. Author Leslie Linsley provides a warm travelogue as she escorts her readers on a tour of the homes, the ships, the shops, all lit up for the season to be jolly. Ms. Linsley also provides the audience with arts and crafts tips that include designs using greenery, fruits and flowers. Special recipes round out this delightful charmer. Perhaps the only thing missing is the lack of the owners of these delightful homes, shops, and ships as smiling uplifting faces would enhance the insightful descriptions and wonderful photography.

A beautiful book with colour pics of gorgeous Nantucket homes decked out for the holidays. I found a few good decorating ideas that I use in my own home. Anyone who is a fan of Nantucket would probably enjoy this book.

Wonderful book! Gorgous photos that I love to linger over that put me right back on my own special little island. It will always carry me back to that wonderful place. I have never been there in winter and this book takes me there at my favorite time of the year, Christmas!!!

This was a book which I searched & searched for, prior to the Christmas gift-giving season. When I finally found it, ( on Amazon, of course! ) I was thrilled! It's a wonderfully decorative, descriptive book of the ways in which New Englanders celebrate the Christmas Holiday . The photos are glorious, and my dear friend reports that she will "...look forward to trying various recipes" from this book in 2011. She loves & appreciates the distinctive Nantucket 'way of life' from her many visits there, and I was delighted to give her a book she'll treasure, use, and enjoy.

I bought this book even after the holidays were over.
It has a cohesiveness to it and it has beautiful pictures.
