For the love of a good book

As mentioned in a previous post, I forked out to buy some books written by Russell Ince, co-owner of the Christmas Imaginarium on the Isle of Wight.

I've already read the first three - 

  • Santa Claus and the First Christmas Eve
  • Santa Claus and a Christmas Carol
  • Mrs Claus and the Search for Santa

and am presently halfway through Santa Claus and the Yuletide Rune.

I had no idea what to expect when I purchased them but hoped they would be magical.  I have not been disappointed; they are fantastic.  They focus on the magic of Christmas and the importance of kindness, hope and love and how they make the world go round.  Russell's craftmanship is superb and his style of writing engaging.  As a woman of advanced years, I've thoroughly enjoyed them and can imagine children also finding them enchanting and easy to read.

More please Russell 😊
