One of the Old Fashioned Girls’ favourite artists, Emily Sutton, has illustrated a lovely compendium of Christmas stories published by Virago. Inside are stories by plenty of middlebrow favourites, such as Nancy Mitford and Stella Gibbons. I think I might just treat myself to help me get into the Christmas spirit! – Rachel

Ah, that explains why I love the cover so much! An elf may have purchased this for me for Christmas.
What a clever elf! 🙂
Once again thanks Rachel!! Another present solved, and who knows, maybe Father Christmas may bring me one??! Last year I had Stories to see you through the night in the same edition…….lovely book and cover!
Glad I could help Tigtigs! I might have to get myself a copy, too…
It’s cheaper from The Book Depository, folks!
Thanks for the tip, Barbara!
