Christmas in Exeter Street
A charming story which captures the true spirit of Christmas and a must for every Christmas library!
It’s Christmas Eve, and the house in Exeter Street is full to bursting! There’s a guest in every nook and cranny from top to bottom – and even a baby sleeping in the kitchen sink! Will Father Christmas be able to find them all? This gorgeously illustrated and atmospheric picture book about a house packed full of guests perfectly captures the sense of excitement and sharing that goes with this very special time of year.
"A real find, indeed an instant classic..." The Sunday Times
"The deadpan text is very funny and the pictures just right." The Sunday Telegraph
