It may be November but no matter how much we try and avoid it, Christmas is well and truly here. I have heard my first Christmas song and seen my first Christmas advert. In that spirit let me recommend this wonderful book of festive short stories. Perfect escapist fun. Sit down with this book when your relatives get too much. You will finish it in no time. 

A wonderfully festive Christmas collection of short stories from the Sunday Times No. 1 bestselling author of A Summer at Sea and A Secret Garden 

The perfect gift for Christmas, escape to the countryside with Katie Fforde. 

Stories include:

Christmas in Disguise
When Jo’s friend Andi asks if she’ll stand in to cook Christmas lunch for her employer. Jo reluctantly agrees, wanting to help out her friend. If the girls get away with it, it will be the perfect Christmas disguise.

Candlelight at Christmas 
Fenella and Rupert are organising the perfect Christmas, surrounded by friends in their beautiful Somerby house. But when a power cut suddenly plunges the house into darkness, Fenella knows she has her work cut out to keep everyone happy.
