Christmas Poems

For a decade while she was Poet Laureate Carol Ann Duffy gifted her thousands of readers an illustrated poem every Christmas transporting them in one year to a seventeenthcentury festival on the frozen Thames in another to Western Front to witness the famous 1914 truce then to a sweet winters night in the South of France with Pablo Picasso and his small dog. Christmas Poems showcases Duffys bold and innovative voice alongside gorgeous artwork from Rob Ryan David De Las Heras and Lara Hawthorne amongst others. These ten muchloved poems are gathered together for the first time in this compendium to make a perfect gift for old friends celebrating a decades tradition or those experiencing the magic of Duffys festive verse for the first time.
