Despite the cold weather and arid landscapes, Winter has inspired some of the most magical and moving stories in history. This time of celebrations, snow, religion, tradition and adventure has given rise to classics such as Twas the Night Before Christmas, from Clement de Moore or traditional stories as colorful as those that tell us about Inns, which are some popular festivals that can be enjoyed in countries of America like Mexico in the days before Christmas.
Winter Tales from Taschen pays tribute to the rich and varied tradition of winter-themed stories with thirteen works written between 1823 and 1972. In this work you can find authors and illustrators from Germany, the United States, Hungary, Italy, Mexico, Norway, Russia and Sweden . The stories tell from the adventures of funny snowflakes, the loss of mittens, the encounters with the Sami people in northern Scandinavia or the Chinese New Year. Each of the stories includes nice illustrations and their endearing plots, which result in a careful selection of stories that reflect adventure, sense of community and culture. It is a wonderful book that serves as a perfect complement for hot chocolate nights at home with biscuits, pastries and blankets to read with the little ones by the window, warm and enjoying the stories and their illustrations.
