About the book: The tradition of the Twelve Days of Christmas is a tradition
of celebration, sharing and giving. And what better way to do that than with
a story?Read these stories by the fire, in the snow, travelling home for the
holidays.
Give them to friends, wrap them up for someone you love, read them aloud,
read them alone, read them together. Enjoy the season of peace and goodwill,
mystery, and a little bit of magic. There are ghosts here and jovial
spirits.
Chances at love and tricks with time. There is frost and icicles, mistletoe
and sledges. There's a cat and a dog and a solid silver frog.
There's a Christmas cracker with a surprising gift inside. There's a haunted
house and a SnowMama. There are Yuletides and holly wreaths.
Three Kings. And a merry little Christmas time. And for the icing on the
Christmas cake, there are twelve festive recipes from Yuletides past and
present.
Red cabbage, gravlax, turkey biryani, sherry trifle, Mrs Winterson's mince
pies and more. About the author: Jeanette Winterson, OBE (born 27 August
1959) is an award-winning English writer, who became famous with her first
