Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!

With the Christmas holidays coming upon us, hopefully you can find some time to get some reading done.

Here’s some Christmas themed reads that I have enjoyed this week.

Poems

Two 20thC poems about the Kings from the East:

WB Yeats’ The Magi and TS Eliot’s modernist masterpiece Journey of the Magi

Novella

It’s the greatest Christmas story of them all...probably.

Essay

Christmas is a time for memories and nostalgia for times past - this charming personal memoir pays tribute to the power of music to bring back happy memories of people and places

Mum and Fritz by Tiffany Murray
