Synopsis

Enid Blyton's timeless collection of Christmas stories - an ideal gift for anyone who loved the stories during their own childhood to pass on to the next generation of readers.

Enid Blyton's Christmas Stories was so popular that readers asked for another collection - and here it is! Nobody captures the spirit of Christmas like Enid Blyton, and in these stories - which are perfect for reading alone or sharing - she describes the excitement of anticipating gifts, the pleasures of making special food, of singing carols, and coming together to share good times with friends and families. As ever with Blyton, there is mischief and mayhem but good always prevails in the end.

This is an entirely different set of stories to the ones included in Enid Blyton's Christmas Stories. All stories previously appeared in magazines and anthologies from the 40s and 60s. This collection contains the original texts and is unillustrated.

The stories in this collection are:
One Christmas Eve
All the Way to Santa Claus
Annabelle's Little Thimble
A Coat for the Snowman
The Extraordinary Christmas Tree
On His Way Home
Good Gracious, Santa Claus!
No Present for Benny

About this title

Review:

A wonderful selection to read and share. Mystery and magic, laughter and mischief, the joy of shared times and plenty of delicious food - many of the ingredients which have been delighting Enid Blyton's readers for more than 70 years. (Western Morning News)

With a dash of mischief and a smattering of nostalgia, this collection of short stories is perfect from reading together beside the Christmas tree (Little London)

Derring do and seasonal cheer are celebrated in this new collection of stories from Enid Blyton (Country Life)

Nobody captures the spirit of Christmas like Enid Blyton. These timeless tales are passed on from generation to generation and are ideal for reading alone or sharing ... There is nothing to add to Enid Blyton's popularity as a storyteller even today, and any young child would look forward to finding this particular book in its stocking on Christmas Day (Dorset Echo Series)

Book Description:

Celebrate Christmas with one of the world's best-loved children's authors in this sparkly collection of stories.
