Each month, Theater of the Apes plucks a long forgotten volume from the shelves of the New York Society Library and resurrects it as NECROMANCERS OF THE PUBLIC DOMAIN, a low budget variety show.
December’s book is:
Christmas in Art by Frederick Keppell (1909)
FROM THE BOOK:
All the happy homecomings of grown up sons and daughters, all the festivity, good will, and good cheer which belong to our own festival of Thanksgiving Day, belonged in Europe, and still belong, to Christmas. Happily of recent years, our American Puritan grimness is rapidly disappearing and is giving place to the older and more joyous observances of the day.
