作者简介 Ian Whybrow is an award-winning author with over sixty picture books and novels to his credit. Described as "a major talent" (T.E.S.), he won the UKRA award, the 1996 TBS Birmingham Children's Book Award and the Talkies Award for Best Book and Tape (with Griff Rhys Jones) for Little Wolf's Book of Badness (HarperCollins). Quacky Quack Quack (Walker) was shortlisted for the Smarties Prize and Harry and the Snow King (Levinson) was Waterstone's Book of the Month. Little Farmer Joe and A Baby for Grace (Kingfisher) have received widespread praise. Ian is married with two daughters and divides his time between Harrow and Hertfordshire.
专业书评 From School Library Journal Grade 1-4–This handsome collection of 14 stories includes selections that were previously published and new renditions of old legends and traditional tales. There is a nice balance of well-known classics, such as "The Cratchits' Christmas Dinner" from Charles Dickens's
A Christmas Carol, with lesser-known tales, such as William Dean Howells's 1892 "Christmas Every Day." Other authors include Fiona Waters, Vivian French, and Saviour Pirotta. Whybrow provides a foreword and a cheerful introduction to each selection. While not an essential purchase, the bright illustrations by a variety of artists make this a fine choice for libraries needing another Christmas anthology.
