サマリー
あらすじ・解説
In this Very Special Episode, we sprinkle the show with some Sugar Plum Fairy pixie dust and join our heroines in making merry via food and drink during Christmastide. From Laura Ingalls Wilder’s peppermint sticks to Mrs. Beaver’s holiday hospitality, we find out how our bookish leading ladies celebrated the “most wonderful time of the year.”
Shownotes:
One thing we love about celebrating Christmas is how various foods and drinks pop up at that time of year and no other. After all, nobody drinks eggnog in July. We share our heroine’s glowy feelings of anticipation and wish fulfillment as we sample Jane Austen’s cold pies, Maya Angelou’s upside-down pineapple cake, and the Little Women’s fat, brown turkey.
From the groaning tables of Regency England to Independence, Kansas, and Narnia and beyond, we pull up a chair to some of the most delicious and festive fetes in our favorite novels.
