Christmas has always been and always will be a special time of year, a time either of great happiness or great sadness and sometimes both. Here are eight stories of different Christmases, all of which are memorable in their different ways.
The stories are arranged in order of age: the first for young children, the last for adults.
There are two World War 2 stories, one which refers to it and one which refers to another war. There’s a football story, a ghost story and two stories with carols in them - and a lot more besides. There’s a story about a really weird Christmas guest and another about a tumultuous family row. All ordinary Christmases to start with, but which turn into being anything but ordinary.
Each story has a postscript telling what real memory lies behind it and how it came to be written.
Many of my earlier books are back in print via the Back-to-Front imprint of the Solidus Press. I have chosen some of my favourites to be rereleased by this new publisher. Here are some that you can read now :
