Yule: A Celebration of Light and Warmth
by: Dorothy Morrison

Llewellyn has definitely surpassed their own standard of Pagan literary excellence with their series of "Sabbat" books.  Yule by Dorothy Morrison represents the third of these books I have read (Candlemas by Amber K and Arynn K was number four and that review follows) and I have not yet been disappointed. I could not have previously imagined how someone could find so much to say about one holiday, but each of the talent writers in this series has succeeded in producing an informative and enjoyable exploration of the holiday at hand.

Yule is no exception.  The warmth and intimacy of the holiday is deftly captured by Morrison as she skillfully navigates the tenuous history surrounding this precious time.  Including an appropriately extensive recipe section (of course!), as well as games, party ideas, gift ideas and decorations, this book will bring the magic of the season front and center regardless of the time of year it's read. 

Morrison's easy writing style is a joy to experience (making me look forward to reviewing more of her work) and the choice of authors for this particular book could not be better.
