Joanna Bogle Has a New Book in the Works - "The Yearbook of Feasts and Seasons"

From Auntie Joanna:

It is a lovely feeling to start a New Year and have a book safely away....

What is the book? Glad you asked. It is "The Yearbook of Feasts and Seasons" a completely rewritten, reworked, updated handbook for celebrating all the traditional feasts of the Christian year at home, in school, in a parish or religious community.....packed full of recipes, games, songs, information, snippets of history etc etc. Am indebted to all sorts of people, such as Mrs Evelyn Birge Vitz - whom I met at that conference at Sonntagberg and whose excellent cookery book has been a most useful source - and the dear nuns at Minster-in-Thanet in Kent, for ideas and inspiration.

While lots of families do have a great time at Christmas with games and music and fun, too many - even Catholic - people have no idea of the richness that is theirs by right, and have cross unhappy irritating experiences watching TV, playing computer games, bickering, and feeling let down, with a sense of disappointment that what should have been memorable and pleasant was rather horrid. For the proper celebration of the feasts of the year people need things to do: Christianity is an incarnate Faith and living it doesn't just mean vaguely knowing what it is about, but marking it throughout life with signs and symbols, food, music, games, talk, arts and crafts, indoor and outdoor activities......

My Comments:
When I met Mrs. Bogle at the Coming Home Network conference back in November, she told me this new book would be a companion book to her excellent A Book of Feasts and Seasons.
