Product Description
Product Description
Taken from the original omnibus CHRISTMAS AT FAIRACRE, Miss Read's wonderfully festive collection of Christmas stories is packed with entertaining characters and enchanting stories. From the rural festivities in Village Christmas and Jingle Bells to the pre-war story Christmas At Caxley 1913 and the intriguing The Fairacre Ghost, Miss Read's wry wit and light touch is the perfect antidote to the long winter evenings.

If you want heartwarming winter stories this is for you. Just the thing to curl up with when it's cold and snowy outside. Wonderful characters, witty observations, gentle humour and surprisingly not outdated. You will especially appreciate this rich type of story-telling if you live in a village yourself as you will certainly recognise many of the characters! Lovely descriptive writing with a winter/Christmas theme. So true to life and as comforting as a cup of cocoa. Warning - these books are seriously addictive!!
