A 1960s Edinburgh Christmas (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781539997450)

Step behind the magical Morningside Clock to enter the mists of time and enjoy this small illustrated monograph which evokes the simple charm and pleasures of how Christmas was celebrated in the 1960s by an ordinary Edinburgh family. It sets the December scene at their Council stair of flats and then describes the excitement of the children on Christmas Eve and their keen anticipation of the arrival of Santa Claus in the morning. The story then follows them on Christmas Day itself as they travel across an older, but familiar south Edinburgh to Portobello to enjoy the day with their extended family, giving the reader a 'fireside seat'.
