The Thirteen Days of Christmas Reviews

Seasonal storytelling at its best . . . perfect for reading aloud at bedtime * The Sunday Times *
A book stuffed of lavish spectacle, described with a wonderfully visual sense of festival. * The Tablet *
A lovely book to give to any family to share and enjoy at this time of year. * Carousel *
Memorable for its subtle evocation of the mostly forgotten traditions of Christmas past - the sort of things alluded to in songs or nursery rhymes. Magical fable, historical novel and crazy extravaganza combined. Unique and authentic festive entertainment. * Inis Magazine Review *
