Having greatly enjoyed the subsequent Woodland Nutcracker, which Frances Tyrrell illustrated for her mother, author Avril Tyrrell, and which presented an ursine retelling of the Christmas fairy-tale of The Nutcracker, I was eager to track down Woodland Christmas (sometimes sub-titled in later editions as "Twelve Days of Christmas in the North Woods"). Not only am I an admirer of the artist, but I also have an interest in picture book presentations of Christmas carols and songs—an annual pet project of mine. Unsurprisingly, I found this a charming read, appreciating both the text (of course!) and the way in which it was interpreted in the artwork.
