A Very Special Christmas

Yes, it is - for kids of all ages!

All our stories in this special collection involve children at Christmastime. The adults in their lives try their very best to make the festive season as happy as possible for the little and not so little ones concerned, while finding their own special person to love. And sometimes the kids work a little magic of their own, for the best present of all is to become a family.

Our three authors bring you their family traditions from around the world. We visit the United States with Jessica Matthews, England with Caroline Anderson and South Africa with Elisabeth Scott. The different types of weather in these countries make no difference to the warmth of the season's greetings we send to you.

And it all happens at Christmas...
