Delightful
I selected this for a granddaughter to cheer her up. Most of the stories have a show-biz theme and are related to Christmas. Inevitably , because they are all half a century old they show a world where things were less plentiful and more difficult to obtain. They also show how important family love and support are and that all the fancy bits and bobs that distract us at Christmas are literally only as important as the icing on the cake.

What a triumph to produce such a compilation, and I gather the book has been appreciated and enjoyed after Christmas by parents and recipients alike ! Thank you to those who have kept alive and relevant the amazing stories and memories of Noel Streatfeild .
