Story
Christmas is the single biggest annual event on the planet, a time for merry-making, over-indulgence, peace, goodwill, and the occasional family row. It’s as comfortable and familiar as a pair of old shoes and yet still glittery and exciting. But what do you really know about it? It’s stuffed full of traditions and rituals that most of us have been observing all our lives without having the slightest idea of where they come from.

Widely hailed as a spiritual classic, this inspirational and unfailingly powerful story reveals the life and visions of the Lakota healer Nicholas Black Elk (1863–1950) and the tragic history of his Sioux people during the epic closing decades of the Old West. In 1930, the aging Black Elk met a kindred spirit, the famed poet, writer, and critic John G. Neihardt (1881–1973) on the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota.

Wonderful book filled with rich history!
I truly enjoyed this book and learned so much about the history of theater in London, which I knew nothing about. It's written in a way that pulls you in and captures your attention. It's amazing how theater took hold of this area and turned it into what it is today. A great read or listen whether you're into theater or not. It's full of rich history and connects the dots. Pick up a copy!

Fascinating history and context for the West End
I'm not a theater buff, but I really enjoyed learning about the fascinating history behind the development and evolution of performance arts in London, with so much more context around the rise and fall of empires, how the reigns of various monarchs impact the culture and people's lives, etc. When I traveled to London many years ago, I didn't have any of this context during my 1-week stay and still enjoyed walking around and explored the area that's known as the West End. I can't wait to go back and visit the same places now that I have so much more appreciation for the history and culture that contributed to the modern-day scenes in London.
Highly recommend this title for anyone interested in visiting London or learning about its history and culture, especially with an interest in performance arts.

Great History of London's Theater Scene
This is such an interesting book on the history of theater in London. As an American, I am very familiar with our own arts scene. And it dawned on me that the entire world culture has its base in the fine arts, not just my own little berg. This book reminded me of how important the arts are to all cultures. It is a wonderful book to listen to at any time.
