In styles, methods, and ideas of Carol, Clements, and Milne comes a story that I hope you feel instantly at home with. I find it is similar to listening to someone telling a story on the telephone. Now and then, you know something has been said on the other end of the line. You know what it was by the conversation on your side. You have not heard it, but you just know. There is no doubt.
With that in mind, this is a story that holds out the hope and joy of Christmas. It should be shared aloud while you are snuggled under something soft and comfy with someone you love, with a mug of something hot and sweet close at hand. If there are snowflakes falling past the streetlights, then that will be all the better.
