Inhaltsangabe

A funny, feel-good story of one woman, one dog and one forgotten Christmas tree that brings a little magic back to their lives.

From the bestselling author of I Haven’t Been Entirely Honest With You.

Hello to you. I have written a short story, or Tall Tale as I like to call it, because I believe we all deserve moments to cosy up with something simple yet joy-filled and uplifting. If I may be so bold about my own tale!

It contains, amongst many thrills I couldn’t possibly divulge yet, intriguing and exciting mishaps between a Christmas tree that not only talks, but dances (I know!); a dog called Jessie, who also talks, and a woman called Joan, who – less surprisingly, in that she is a human being – talks too. Interested? I should blooming well hope so!

Right, let me tell you all about it . . .
