The Boar's Head Festival

"A heavily illustrated volume for children and adults that tells the story of the Boar's Head Festival, a Christmas celebration incorporating such medieval legends as that of Good King Wenceslaus, the boar's head legend in which a ferocious boar is killed by a young Oxford scholar, and the Nativity story. The celebration is narrated and played out by beautifully costumed actors in medieval garb."--ECIP Summary.
