About This Book

Children in a small town, cared for by a brisk, practical guardian, spend the days before Christmas full of wonder and anxiety as one child brings home tales of Santa and the younger sibling listens for signs of magic. Scenes move between the shop and the sitting-room where a child frets about being seen as good, while adults quietly prepare and debate how to break news that their father intends to take them by train to his new home. The narrative blends childhood imagination, holiday ritual and the uneasy prospect of family change as the revelation nears.
