Review:
While the words of this popular Christmas standard have been familiar for generations, not many know the origins of the song and the meanings of its layered imagery and allusions. What, for instance, do French hens, calling birds, and leaping lords have to do with Christmas? You're about to find out. In charming, fastidiously rendered paintings and delightful, informative text, artist Leigh Grant illustrates each verse and explains the often enigmatic references in the song's lyrics. In 25 full-color paintings and 12 line drawings, Grant, who has illustrated more than 25 books, offers a wonderfully nostalgic vision of old-fashioned holiday festivities while providing a refreshing and totally captivating way to experience this deeply loved song.
