A beautiful collection of seasonal stories inspired by the classic Christmas carol, from the Sunday Times No. 1 Bestselling Author`Uplifting, poignant and astutely observed, this felt like being whirled away into a Regency ball' Naomi KelseyAs the Viscount's famous Twelfth Night Ball draws closer, many of the villagers of Merrywake 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, 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?`Sparkling wit, romance and joy. . . it's the perfect gift to wake up to in your stocking on Christmas morning!'
