Bookroo's summary
In 1800, Queen Charlotte faces a festive dilemma: how to enchant over 100 children at Windsor Castle with just a yule bough? Her solution—a full Christmas tree—introduces a cherished tradition to England. Uncover the origins of this holiday staple and the queen's unconventional charm in this delightful tale of history and celebration.
From the publisher
Queen Charlotte brought her family’s festive holiday yule bough from Germany to England. While planning a Christmas Day party in 1800 at Windsor Castle for over 100 children, she realized a single bough isn’t enough. So she brought in the whole tree instead, making it the first known Christmas Tree in England. This story tells a little known fact about a favorite holiday tradition.
