This anthology recalls Christmas in Shakespeare's day, when it was an expansive festival, dominated by strict religious observance on the day itself, but including a long season of merrymaking, feasting and, most important of all, masques and plays. Also included are little-known delights such as the story of how Elizabeth I interrupted Shakespeare's performance by walking across the stage and dropping a glove at his feet and how the barristers at Inns of Court danced before the judges.
