The Brontës' Christmas

The Festive Season in Victorian England

About this book

The Brontës' Christmas invites you to step back in time and explore the delights of a Victorian Christmas through the eyes of our most beloved authors.

While the Brontë family's celebrations weren't the most exuberant, Victorian society cheerfully embraced the newfound idea of Christmas as a time for feasts, decorations, the exchanging of gifts and parlour games.

Through a selection of seasonal recipes, letters, poetry and extracts, The Brontës' Christmas meanders back in time to explore long-forgotten customs, including Vessel Maids and furmenty; the spice cake that Charlotte took around to her husband's parishioners; and childhood games enjoyed by the family.

This festive season, curl up and experience a Haworth Christmas.
