About this book
Describes the development, flowering, and decline of celebrations at Twelfth Day that involved an elaborately decorated cake and a lighthearted game of chance. This lost English custom flourished in the first part of the nineteenth century and was chronicled by Dickens, Thackeray, and others. Includes recipes.
