Product Description

Synopsis

Alice Taylor returns to the world of "To School Through the Fields" in this story of oldstyle country Christmas. She attempts to convey the magic that lies in every detail of the festive season for a young child. Her story begins with the geese as they wobble around the farmyard and down to the river. She conveys the childrens' aching anticipation of the village schoolmaster's official announcement of the holidays. And then the scene moves to the farmhouse kitchen, where their neighbour Bill supervises the important business of writing to Santa.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Night Before Christmas, 1 Oct 2002
This was the first of Alice Taylor's books that I read and it drew me into her complete library. It depicts the society in which we were both brought up in, with great accuracy. In this book she honours the local people in a way that any award never could. I guess the fact that she mentions my Dad; Janey Jack Owen (RIP) in the chapter "Bringing the Christmas" was what initially caught my eye but I got hooked and genuinely enjoyed the story. Read it and you will feel like you are a real life observer in the story.
