Synopsis

An enchanting tapestry of wholesome narratives, 'Leaves for a Christmas Bough: Love, Truth, and Hope' interlaces children's stories and epistolary tales in a warm embrace of familial gatherings and Yuletide joy. With its roots firmly planted in the literary soil of mid-19th century New England, the book embodies the simplicity and charm distinct to the era's juvenile literature. Its framework rests on christmas recollections and associated celebrations, giving voice to an illustrated Santa Claus who reaches across time to share wisdom and observations with his audience. The literary style, at once sincere and didactic, crafts an atmosphere where the moral compass aligns with festive spirits, seeking to entertain, enlighten, and endear.

The author, choosing to remain an enigma under the veil of Anonymous, allows the stories themselves to shine without the imposition of personal fame. The voice that echoes through the pages is one of universal goodwill, perhaps shaped by the societal mores and educational aspirations of the time. Written during an era when moral instruction was intertwined with entertainment, the collection provides insight into the cultural fabric of the day, revealing threads of love, truth, and hope skillfully woven into each tale.

Recommended for bibliophiles with an affinity for vintage children's literature, this collection offers a delightful window into the Christmas celebrations of yesteryear. The prose, both nostalgic and gentle, is fitting for readers of all ages seeking to immerse themselves in the simple joys and lessons of a bygone age. 'Leaves for a Christmas Bough' tenderly invites its readers to rekindle the holiday spirit through the lens of tradition and the timeless values that continue to resonate well into the modern world.

    The plot revolves around four characters: Othello, a Moor general in the Venetian army, his wife, Desdemona, his lieutenant, Cassio, and his most trusted advisor Iago. Because of its diverse subject, namely love, jealousy, racism and betrayal, Othello remains relevant and valid even today.

    Professor of Parapsychology, Philip Goodman, is an arch-sceptic with a mission to debunk the paranormal, wherever it occurs.
    But when he embarks on an investigation of three apparent hauntings – as recounted by a night-watchman, a teenage boy, and a businessman awaiting his first child – Goodman finds himself at the outer limits of rationality, and fast running out of explanations.
    Jeremy Dyson and Andy Nyman's play Ghost Stories first started terrifying audiences at Liverpool Playhouse and the Lyric Hammersmith, London, in 2010, directed by its authors along with Sean Holmes – and has since become a worldwide cult phenomenon, with two West End transfers, productions in China, Australia, Canada and Europe, and an award-winning film adaptation. It was revived at the Lyric in 2019.
    This official tie-in edition features the complete script for the show, and an exclusive introduction by Jeremy Dyson and Andy Nyman, about the origins and development of the play.
