This visual feast from acclaimed illustrator Alison Jay is the perfect festive gift. On Christmas Eve, a man buys presents for the woman he loves, beginning with a partridge in a pear tree. The couple travel through town and the gifts pile up, until they get to a Christmas party so magnificent it is a little overwhelming... leading them to slip back to the quiet of home, where their partridge is waiting.

Of all the Christmas books published this year, Alison Jay's The Twelve Days of Christmas has the least chance of being read. That's got nothing to do with it's attractiveness, because its beautiful cracked-paint illustrations conjure warm images of Christmas past. It's due to the fact that even though the order of the drummers drumming and lords a-leaping has been slightly rearranged to suit this courtship story, anyone who opens the pages will be unable to resist singing, rather than reading the familiar words of this traditional verse. -- Pet O'Connell * Evening Echo *
Alison Jay is a graduate of the London College of Printing and the critically acclaimed illustrator of many books for children, including The Nutcracker, Welcome to the Zoo and Nursery Rhyme Rainbow.
