BOOK REVIEW: Old Christmas by Washington Irving

 


This short story is a treatise on the old traditions of England, where the author was invited to spend the holidays by a college friend. Full of delightful descriptions of an old country manor and its somewhat eccentric occupants, this paints a wonderfully moving portrait of Christmas as it was meant to be. Short enough to read in one sitting, but with chapters that can help stretch out the experience, this is one of Irving’s classics that continues to enchant new audiences.
