Queens Christmas Carol

Excerpt from The Queens Christmas Carol: An Anthology of Poems, Stories, Essays, Drawings and Music The Royal Fund in aid of the Unemployed should, we may hope, conjure fruitfully from the procession of singers and narrators under headship of the Lady of the Land, bearer of Light into a region of thick darkness, where economists are groping for a path. The heart of the nation responds to its illustrious: leader, and it is for the nation's mind to work out the imperative means. My regret is heavy that, owing to a recent mishap, I am unable to join with my fellows in the good work. But I know their voices, and can feel assured that the exclusion of one from such a choir will not be missed.
