Last Christmas (Omnibus)

Curated by Greg Wise and Emma Thompson this collection of personal essays, written by a plethora of voices, reflects on the true meaning of Christmas

Curated by Greg Wise and Emma Thompson this collection of personal essays reflects on the true meaning of Christmas.

The ten selected writers reading their reminiscences of Christmas past include Meera Syal, Lyse Doucet, Emma Thompson, Greg Wise and Deborah Frances-White.

Each writer draws on the themes of kindness, acceptance and tolerance and takes us from Queensland to Pennsylvania to the Black Country and beyond.

More sobering memories come from the Jungle in Calais, a small village in Rwanda and London's inhospitable streets.
