Shows how colonial settlers from the northern hemisphere adapted the age-old festivals of Christmas, New Year and Easter to a new world of upside-down seasons, unfamiliar vegetation and cultural diversity. This work tells us that along with vision, dedication and a capacity for hard work, our forebears also brought jollity and frivolity.
