Book Reviews of Christmas in Switzerland (Christmas Around the World) (Christmas Around the World Series)
Book Review: It's a multi-cultural Christmas in Switzerland
Summary: 5 Stars
"Christmas in Switzerland" is part of a series developed by World Book Inc. several decades ago for young people. These 80-page books have evolved into a rich storehouse of information for anyone of any age who enjoys learning the Christmas history, stories, regional Christmas songs, Christmas crafts, and holiday recipes of many nations.
The opening pages of the book examine the centuries-old cultural roots of the Swiss Christmas observance. The holiday season in this small country tucked in the heart of central Europe is a unique blend of old and new; Catholic and Protestant; and German, French, and Italian influences.
The bustling energy of today's Swiss Christmas is brought to life in all the diverse aspects: the pre-holiday preparations, the music, gift-giving traditions, religious observances, and foods -- especially the story of Swiss chocolate. Recipes in the book include Capretto (Roasted Kid), Risotto, Onion Tart, and Basler Brunsli (Chocolate Almond Cookies). The piano-vocal score for a Swiss carol, "The Star of Bethlehem Shines Bright," completes the book.
"Christmas in Switzerland" is richly illustrated with beautiful art work and full-color photos.
Collect the whole series for your home library, re-read them every December, and share them with friends and family.
