While Christmas stories regularly come and go, ‘Spirit of the Season’ remains a firm favourite among the categories of historical fiction and children’s literature. In this charming novel for all, Brian Lamont’s unique prose elevates traditional Christmas reading, such as 'The Night Before Christmas' or 'A Christmas Carol', to new heights, while presenting a thoroughly entertaining and emotionally uplifting addition to any collection of seasonal books.
