25 helpings of Christmas cheer from one for the best-loved storytellers for children
Here’s a book to put young readers in the mood for Christmas: a collection of twenty-five festive stories by Enid Blyton. Lots of them feature Father Christmas getting into and out of scrapes (in one, he even has to hide from the police) and bestowing presents on good little children, and some grown ups too, and all of them take place at Christmastime, celebrating everything that makes it special – family get-togethers, good will and lashings of delicious food. As you’d expect, the stories are super-readable, each one a no-nonsense dose of adventure, the perfect length for bedtime or independent reading. After all, you don’t get to sell 500 million children’s books, as Enid Blyton has, without understanding exactly what your young readers want.
This hugely popular short story collection, first published in 2016, is back with a shiny new cover.
As ever with Blyton, there is mischief and mayhem but good always prevails in the end. These traditional tales are perfect for younger children being read to and for newly confident readers to read alone.
All stories previously appeared in magazines and anthologies from the 40s and 60s. This collection contains the original texts and is unillustrated.
Enid Blyton remains one of Britain's favourite children's authors and her bumper short story collections are perfect for introducing her to the latest generation of readers.
