A Wisconsin Town and Country Christmas explores Christmas traditions brought by early settlers to the area from the old country-Slovaks, Scandinavians, Irish, English, Swiss, Germans-through interviews with their descendants still living on farms, in the towns, in old cheese factories. Beautifully illustrated with 19th century etchings and lithographs, together with specially commissioned drawings of local Wisconsin farms in the snow, this little book evokes Christmases past and present and may even inspire you to try the cornucopia of recipes collected from those interviewed.
