Trudy E McNair
A small elephant named Atwater washes up on an island with his prized possession, a rather worn but still colorful umbrella. The homesick elephant is comforted and befriended by a clever green parrot named Tripp. Together they embark on a journey of self-discovery to find their way home.
Explore the interesting life of Queen Victoria, who promised “I will be good,” and her German husband, Albert, who brought the Christmas tree to England and was the organizer of the first World’s Fair to showcase the industry and inventions of the world. The Victorian Age loved both the medieval past and the modern age.
Discover the traditions of sending Christmas cards, decorating the Christmas tree, Santa Claus, and the genius of the Victorian novelist Charles Dickens, who, more than any writer, captured the spirit of A Victorian Christmas.
