Saturday 14 December 2019, 10.00AM to 4.30pm
This one-day course will celebrate literary depictions of Christmas, all with an element of magic, mystery, or the supernatural in them. We will read a selection of extracts from poems and fiction, from the fourteenth-century poem Sir Gawain and the Green Knight (which opens with a magical Christmas visitor to King Arthur’s court), to Charles Dickens’ much-loved A Christmas Carol, to a Hogwarts Christmas in JK Rowling’s Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone… and as much as possible in between.
