About
On a frosty winter evening, the Baron watches the snow fall. He is bored and worried. It will soon be Christmas and everything is too quiet. What can he do to bring excitement to the Manor?
His wife, the Baroness, has an idea: he can appoint a King of Christmas, a peasant to take his place and rule in his stead. And so begin twelve days of revelry, anarchy and merriment . . .
Inspired by the medieval tradition of appointing a Lord of Misrule, Carol Ann Duffy's warm and enchanting new poem takes us into a topsy-turvy world of festivity, feasting and mischievous Christmas fun.
