Synopsis
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.
