Alice Taylor: The Night Before Christmas

"Alice Taylor returns to the world of To School Through the Fields in this story of an old-style country Christmas. She conveys, as no other author can, the magic that lies in every detail of the festive season for a young child. Her story begins with the geese and moves through all the preparations of the Christmas season. There is the expedition to the woods to gather holly; the bringing in of the heifers from the fields; and the Christmas clean-up. And then it is Christmas Eve, dominated by thoughts of the impending visit of Santa and by the decorating of the Christmas tree. Christmas cards are put up, the farm yard is closed down, and hay is brought to the sheep; then the family gathers for the lighting of the Christmas candle..."
