Although Jonathan Toomey is the best woodcarver in the valley, he is always alone and never smiles. No one knows about the mementos of his lost wife and child that he keeps in an unopened drawer. But one early winter’s day, a widow and her young son approach him with a gentle request – a request which leads to a joyful miracle, as the spirit of Christmas heals the sorrowing woodcarver’s heart. This moving, lyrical tale unfolds with mastery, humour and emotional force, and has been widely hailed by critics and readers as a true Christmas classic. Gloriously illustrated by the inimitable P.J. Lynch, this is a stunning 20th anniversary edition of a Kate Greenaway winning festive classic.
