Why a Booktrail?
There’s a little fir tree that no one wants as a Christmas tree…
The Christmas Eve Tree
What you need to know before your trail
When the ugly little fir tree is taken to the city, no one wants to buy him; they prefer the big tall trees. But a homeless boy asks the shopkeeper if he can take the tree, and down by the river in a cardboard box, decorated with a few candles, the tree finds itself at the centre of a magical Christmas Eve it will never forget. A Christmas tale with a classic feel but a modern theme at its heart.
Travel Guide
The true spirit of Christmas..
The book is a mixture of American folk art and drawings of shops and buildings from the illustrator and author’s travels around Europe. One shop in particular deserves a mention and that is Derek Fox’s shop in Malton, Yorkshire which inspires many of the drawings in her book.
In fact Maldon is a good place to visit to see the style of buildings and shops that are in this and other books by this author/illustrator team.
