A Royal Christmas by Jeremy Archer

4.0

Heavy use of primary sources to tell of Royal Christmases, mostly from Victoria’s reign to the 1940s. Sections are grouped by theme - gift giving, pastimes, away from home, trying Christmases due to domestic events (family death), trying Christmases due to external events (war), etc. Helpful family tree, which I had to refer to constantly as the cast of “characters” is in the dozens. Enjoyable read for British and royal history fans who love Christmas.
