Niroot Puttapipat’s stunning mainly black and white illustrations have the feel of detailed old-style silhouettes and create a wonderfully atmospheric version of this favourite song. A happy couple in Victorian dress dash through the snow in their one-horse open sleigh against gorgeous wintery scenes of ice-skating and cosily lit villages, finally arriving home for the warmest of welcomes. Cut-outs and hand-cut page edges make the experience even more special and it culminates in an extravagant and delicate pop-up. Stylish and elegant this beautiful little book – its miniature size is part of the appeal – will dazzle children and adults alike. ~ Andrea Reece

James Lord Pierpont (1822-1893) was born in Boston, Massachussetts, the son of a pastor. He became the organist and director of music at a church in Savannah, Georgia, and he fought for the South in the American Civil War. Jingle Bells is one of the most popular songs in the world, and was the first song broadcast from space.
