Winter Magic

Author Abi Elphinstone has compiled a collection of eleven winter-themed stories by a range of children’s writers, from the well-known and established, Berlie Doherty, Michelle Magorian, Geraldine McCaughrean to name a few, to more recent names such as Emma Carroll, Katherine Woodfine and Piers Torday.

The stories combine snowy landscapes with a variety of themes including magic, gift-giving, time travel, ballet, folk lore, family and adventure and an assortment of characters and objects from snow queens to snow dragons.  The obviously seasonal appeal, enticing cover, reasonable price and interesting author information make this an attractive book for readers of 9+ to dip in and out of as they curl up in the warmth and escape into an imaginative and magical wintry world.
