Halesworth Bookshop Christmas recommendations
With festive best wishes from Abbie.
“One of my favourite reads at Christmas is 'Little Women' or 'Pride and Prejudice. And, of course, it's a time of year to take a moment and read the delightful 'Dickens' - 'A Christmas Carol' - always worth the effort!
Every family should all sit down together and read 'Twas The Night Before Christmas' by Clement C Moore at Christmas time, loved by children and adults alike.
Remember what the great Katherine Rundell says "One should always read children's books even though you are so old and wise”.... “
Vita and the Birds
by Polly Crosby
Polly was with us at FolkEast this year, talking with Catherine Larner and Sarah Hardy about locally inspired writing. Blythburgh in Suffolk was the inspiration for the setting of Vita and the Birds, a haunting, historical mystery created around a captivating dual timeline. A definite for fans of Eve Chase, Kate Morton and Kate Mosse.
‘A poignant page-turning story, beautifully written’ Leonora Nattrass, author of Blue Water
It will be available in Paperback from 23rd November @ £9.99.
