U.A. Fanthorpe's Christmas Poems gathers together the poems she wrote and sent to friends as Christmas cards from 1974 to 2002. Now readers can enjoy Fanthorpe's yearly output in its entirety.

Above all, these poems are celebrations of Christmas joy and love."

This is the third copy of this book that I have bought to give to friends. The poems were originally written as Christmas cards and are both delightful and appropriate. My favourites - BC-AD and the Wicked Fairy at the Manger.
