A poem in which every letter of the alphabet describes a different aspect of Christmas and its celebration. This book is a beautifully illustrated version of a rhymed alphabet made by Carolyn Wells in 1901. She finds something important about Christmas for each letter of the alphabet. Here is a sequence to give an idea of its flavor:
E is for Evergreens cut for the room
F is for Flowers of exquisite perfume
G is for Gifts that bring us delight
H is for Holly with red berries bright
Each rhyme is beautifully illustrated with an antique image, including illustrators like Arthur Rackham, Sarah Stilwell, Jessie Willcox Smith, Oliver Herford, Anne Anderson, and Charles Robinson.
