This is the classic recital of Christmas traditions in 19th century England. Originally part of The Sketch Books of Geoffrey Crayon, Gent., which also included Irving's most famous stories, Rip van Winkle and The Legends of Sleepy Hollow, Old Christmas depicts Irving's Christmas Eve stagecoach trip to Yorkshire and the delightful holiday games and festive rituals he shared with his hosts. Famed illustrator Randolph Caldecott's original art for the 1875 edition has been beautifully reproduced, providing a perfect complement to Irving's descriptions of holiday cheer.
