The Dead of Winter: Beware the Krampus and Other Wicked Christmas Creatures by Sarah Clegg

5.0

I'm not a fan of winter, but I do like spooky stuff and this book delivers. We're getting into the cold weather here and I am now burning to mull some wine and open my doors to mummers with an animal head on a stick! There is so much information here about all the various Christmas traditions and where they might have come from. Lots of angry letters from religious leaders, plus some really nice nature scenes.
