'A Right Royal Christmas demonstrated that our present-day festival has much deeper roots than Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, who are usually given the credit for 'inventing' it - with a little help from Charles Dickens, of course. Through princely diaries, letter and journals, and the eyes of outside observers, this anthology eavesdrops on royal festivites over many centuries. Factual accounts are included alongside poetry, drama and novelist's imaginative re-creation of a mystery play and Henry VIII's boyhood.'
