- Summary:
- Wonderland: The Story of Christmas evokes the portrayal of Christmas in the books of the Golden Age of children's literature from 1840 to 1940. Hope is offered by Christmas in a world created so vividly by Charles Dickens in A Christmas Carol. Christmas is also presented by these authors as a respite, and sometimes only for a brief period, from a world that often seemed particularly heartless and cruel at Christmas time. The programme is illustrated by extracts from works for children by writers of the Golden Age, who include Charles Dickens, Kenneth Grahame, JM Barrie, Rudyard Kipling, Edith Nesbit, JRR Tolkien, CS Lewis and Dylan Thomas. In addition, the programme includes sequences from film adaptations and an orchestral score especially written for the production.
