More:
Now I love a story, but there’s nothing like a non-fiction info book to get me geeking! This DK-esque book claims to have over 100 amazing facts behind the Christmas story, moving through all the elements of the Christmas story including why the date of Christmas is what it is and what daily life would have been like in the time Jesus was born.
This isn’t a book I would read from start to finish (although some people will) but it will be a good ‘dip in’ book for many Christmases.
