Description
A gorgeous gift book to celebrate the true meaning of Christmas - a perfect gift for any Christmas stocking. A lonely tree stands on the cold, frosted hillside gazing at the other trees sparkling in the village below. How it longs to be with them! Then suddenly out reaches a warm friendly hand, and with a wobble and a shake, a very jolly fellow takes the tree on a journey to a new place ... where the tree will feel that it belongs once more, surrounded by old friends and new. A beautiful Christmas gift inspired by the Christmas poem 'Twas the Night Before Christmas. With an uplifting message about overcoming loneliness and celebrating being together.
This beautiful reworking of the classic 'Twas the Night Before Christmas tells the tale of one lonely tree's journey from solitude to companionship in a timeless, atmospheric small format gift book
