Recensione

"Packed with charm and beautifully illustrated, it's a book that will solve your gift dilemmas and let you escape the less salubrious aspects of Christmas for a literary wonderland." (Stylist)

"Winterson’s winter tales unfailingly succeed in their endeavour to leave you aglow." (Guardian)

"Winterson's prose is often witty and sometimes lyrical . . . The recipes come with intriguing glimpses of the writer, her friends, and their Christmas rituals. Spooky, inventive, funny . . . Winterson's mixed bag of fictional treats has a 19th-century charm much needed in the grim 21st." (Kirkus *Starred Review*)

"A pretty cloth-bound book containing an enchanting collection of recipes and short stories... suitably festive with icicles and plenty of mistletoe." (Laura Powell Sunday Telegraph, Book of the Year)

"A wonderful mix of festive stories and recipes." (Good Housekeeping)

L'autore

At Christmas, Jeanette Winterson makes her own mince pies and cheese straws – half the price, twice as good, and as fast as going to the shops to buy them; see the recipes inside. She has invented her own traditions for a happy Christmas and believes that anyone can. It’s not about money – it’s about imagination. Her advice is this: Go for a walk with a flask of coffee and a piece of Christmas cake in your pocket. Think about the good things in your life and in the world. No bad things on this walk! Then come home, light the candles, sing the carols, and have yourself a merry little Christmas-time.
