The Tale of Jack Frost by David Melling
This winter classic has enchanted children for over ten years and the BBC animation has become a favourite at Christmas time. With a sparkly foiled hardback cover and each copy signed by the author, this limited edition is something to treasure and keep. There was once a group of trees who were fed up with living in a deep, dark and crowded valley - so they moved to the enchanted forest. But as everybody knows, trees cannot walk without magic. From the creator of Hugless Douglas and The Kiss That Missed this stunning picture book tells the story of Jack, the small boy with the frozen touch.
