Synopsis

A beautiful collection of seasonal stories inspired by the Christmas carol, from the Sunday Times No. 1 Bestselling Author

The air glitters with hope as the snowy village of Merrywake celebrates the Christmas season after the tumult of the Napoleonic Wars.

As the Viscount's famous Twelfth Night Ball draws closer, many of the villagers have a story to tell - we meet a lovelorn vicar and kindly maid reunited after a misunderstanding, three sisters vying for the hand of a dastardly duke, two servants hiding a dangerous secret and a solider making his way home, unsure of the welcome he might receive. As their tales braid together, we see life and love in the village from belowstairs to high society.

Reimagining each of the traditional carol's gifts, and written in tribute to Jane Austen and Georgette Heyer, The Twelve Days of Christmas is a collection of festive tales filled with seasonal cheer and heart-warming characters. Will the challenges and mysteries that the Viscount's guests encounter be resolved by the night of the ball?

'Kind, heartwarming historical fiction at its most glorious...Witty, delightful and hugely satisfying...the perfect gift' Kate Griffin
'A glorious treat...uplifting, poignant and astutely observed, this felt like being whirled away into a Regency ball' Naomi Kelsey

Clever, funny and heartfelt... I found myself laughing and crying along with the characters. It's the perfect comfort read. Fans of Jane Austen and Georgette Heyer will love it' Theresa Howes
