Christmas magic - a book only Cariad could write with such beauty and relatability! * Giovanna Fletcher * I loved this book! A gorgeous, warm festive yarn, funny and also so full of heart. Not to mention a dachshund called Colin. This feels like one of those books you'll want to read every Christmas. * Nadia Shireen, author of Grimwood *
Jolly but emotionally perceptive...full of wit and larger-than-life characters * The Daily Mail * Christmas magic - a book only Cariad could write with such beauty and relatability! * Giovanna Fletcher * I loved this book! A gorgeous, warm festive yarn, funny and also so full of heart. Not to mention a dachshund called Colin. This feels like one of those books you'll want to read every Christmas. * Nadia Shireen, author of Grimwood * This book is just so magical...full of heart, friendship, humour and magic...it's stuffed like a stocking with joy, laugh out loud moments, love and friendship and it will warm your heart like a hot chocolate on a freezing cold day. A true Christmas Sparkler * Mini Travellers * Fun and funny, but also powerfully emotive, seasonal romp. Everything you could wish for at Christmas! * Lancaster Guardian * A lively and endearing read * The Church Times *
