Got this to read to the family on Christmas Eve. Always meant to do it as it was an old tradition my Grandfather had before he died & I always meant to carry it on in his memory, decided this year was the one. Book arrived on Monday & its a lovely version. Told the kids we'd sit down after they'd had their baths & were in their new Pj's & read this before they went to bed.... I think I was more excited than they were

If you can, get the boxset.
P.J. Lynch is a genius. You should also look at his other children's books (older than that one), especially "East of the Sun and West of the Moon" and "The Snow Queen". And his Hans Christian Andersen stories one, and the Oscar Wilde one, too. And his "Beeman of Orn". They are quite old, indeed, and maybe even out of print by now, but if you can get them you won't be sorry. He's addictive!0 -

Still on Christmas books, Gennady Spirin is another great artist, he has his own version of "The twelve days of Christmas".
Also, this book by Vladyslav Yerko is also a must-have.
At this rate, I think it would be nice to have a "Christmas Books" thread. 0 -

Just got this on the kindle looking forward to reading it
Mine arrived earlier in the week. Planning on starting it as soon as I finish the book l'm currently reading. So hopefully next week. As it doesnt seem the longest of reads was wondering should I leave it for 2 or 3 weeks though.... might feel more appropriate in December, though suspect I'll just go straight into it."I will honour Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year" - Charles Dickens

Definitely! I always loved getting books.We always ensure Christmas includes plenty of books. Nothing gives a child a better head start in life than a love of reading.
One of the best presents I ever got was a lovely copy of Anne of Green Gables. I loved it, and reread it several times throughout my childhood.
Anyone get this yet? Just wondering if it's a hardback!Just added it to my Amazon order a few minutes ago, couldn't resist!0 -
