Oh my goodness, what a delightful book!  I had no idea when I opened the cover what I would find.  This is the most beautiful Christmas Keepsake I have seen, and of course will be passed down for generations in our family.

Interactive and informative, this coffee table book’s Victorian images, photographs and imprints are charming.  The workmanship of the book surpassed any others I have seen. Pop-up artist Chuck Fischer certainly outdid himself this time.

The pop-up images, removable booklets, and pull-outs depict United States, Russia, Germany, France, Latin America, Scandinavia, Great Britain, and Italy.  Each page portrays the traditions as well as people and stories.

“Christmas Around the World” would make a wonderful Christmas gift as well as buying one for yourself to be enjoyed during the holidays.
