Leaves from a Winter Album
This is a now edition of the Christmas anthology which was broadcast on December 22, 1931. The spirit is the same-a Dickens Christmas. Inglenooks and burning logs, the savour of mincepies, hearts glowing in an atmosphere of merriment and sociability. And among the items will be unusual carols, seasonable verses, something of the Cratchits, and a 12th Century song called Bring in the Good Ale.' As interesting as any item will be the Sussex Mummers' play, of unknown date and origin, in which one of the characters is actually Father Christmas.
