Part of Renard’s Christmas Card Classics series, 25% of the RRP goes to Three Peas. This year, instead of a Christmas card, why not send a book?

This mixed pack contains at least one of each of the seven individual cards, made up to the pack size. Contains:

–The Burglar’s Christmas by Willa Cather: Set in Chicago on a cold Christmas Eve, the down-and-out Crawford learns the value of forgiveness.

  • The Christmas Dinner by Washington Irving: Paints the scene of a Christmas dinner spent at the table of a countryside manor, the merry songs and stories of the dinner table echoing with jollity of Christmases long past.
  • The Fir Tree by Hans Christian Andersen: A moving short story about a tree that is so desperate to grow up that it cannot appreciate the present.
  • The Gift of the Magi by O. Henry: Desperately in love but destitute, Della and Jim try to find ways to drum up the cash for presents for one another, but in the end find they have sacrificed too much along the way.
  • Dancing Dan’s Christmas by Damon Runyon: Several friends come together on Christmas Eve and soothe their souls with some bootleg spirits, and in the cloudy evening that ensues they make someone’s Christmas dream come true.
  • A Child’s Christmas in Wales by Dylan Thomas/b>: An enchanting tale that takes a nostalgic look at Christmases of yore – idyllic memories of white days and nights.
  • Christmas Stories by Saki/b>: One of the greatest Edwardian wits, Saki’s Christmas stories bring a dash of humour to the festive season, with drunk nephews, carollers and miserly recipients of gifts holding forth.

In a nutshell, Three Peas is a small charity supporting people who have had to flee war and/or persecution and who are seeking refuge and/or asylum in Europe. They are mostly active in Greece. They financially support a housing programme on Lesvos, a community centre in Sindos near Thessaloniki, a sports centre in Athens and NGOs’ emergency interventions in Thessaloniki, Lesvos and Samos. As well as the above they regularly support food and medical care providers.

About the author

Contraflow

Poets have grappled with the vexed question of what constitutes Englishness since time immemorial, and the poetry of the past century has seen perhaps some of the biggest evolutions in national identity. Contraflow takes a completely new approach to the subject of Englishness, and in this stimulating and entertaining anthology two poetic currents flow against each other, so that different decades merge, well-known stanzas brushing shoulders with more neglected verse. What emerges is an extraordinary mosaic of poetic responses to English history, culture and landscape – satirical, visionary, lyrical, comic, political, meditative – yet one which offers a recognisable picture of a land both united and divided through a hundred years.
