The Rose and the Ring (Deseret Alphabet edition): A Fireside Pantomime for Great and Small Children (Deseret Alphabet Classics) (Volume 17) Paperback - November 29, 2013 William Makepeace Thackery (1811-1863) was an English novelist. In his own day, he was considered second only to Charles Dickens as a writer. Today, he is best remembered for his satiric novel, Vanity Fair. Thackery calls The Rose and the Ring a "fireside pantomime," that is, a pantomime in book form. Pantomime is a uniquely English holiday tradition, a stage production mixing fairy tales, magic, mayhem, and audience participation. Thackery here mixes all these with a gently satiric look at our ideas of beauty, privilege, obligation, and justice. Although Christmas itself is never mentioned, Thackery included it among the Christmas books he authored under the pen-name "M.A. Titmarsh."
