I'm gradually adding books I've read in 2021 to give a true reflection of the books I've read since keeping records. This was the first book I read in 2021, and is what kick started my reading journey having put reading on the back burner whilst bringing up the children, previously being an avid reader. The true story of Father Christmas. A lovely children's story, with the elves believing that impossible is a swear word and anything is possible with a bit of magic. A good old fashioned children's read. Lovely

A very cute origin story for how Christmas was created. I would highly recommend reading this before watching the movie!
