The Twelve Days of Christmas

A beautiful collection of seasonal stories inspired by the beloved Christmas carol, from the Sunday Times No. 1 Bestselling Author The air glitters with hope as the snowy village of Merrywake celebrates the Christmas season after the tumult of the Napoleonic Wars. As the Viscount's famous Twelfth Night Ball draws closer, many of the villagers have a story to tell - we meet a lovelorn vicar and kindly maid reunited after a misunderstanding, three sisters vying for the hand of a dastardly duke, two servants hiding a dangerous secret and a solider making his way home, unsure of the welcome he might receive.

As their tales braid together, we see life and love in the village from belowstairs to high society. Reimagining each of the traditional carol's gifts, and written in tribute to Jane Austen and Georgette Heyer, The Twelve Days of Christmas is a collection of festive tales filled with seasonal cheer and heart-warming characters. Will the challenges and mysteries that the Viscount's guests encounter be resolved by the night of the ball?

This is a heartwarming collection of stories built around the theme of the twelve days of Christmas in the carol of the same name, that interconnect in a clever and entertaining way - a delightful festive read!
