With over 50 titles, there’s something for everyone - including delightful retellings of traditional stories and songs.Holly is at times a little acerbic, but I recognise that this is her automatic defensive keep-people-out mechanism to protect herself.

And then, of course, there’s the food – with all the quite fascinating inventiveness of developing the recipes, the whole book entirely infused with new tastes and the most wonderful enticing aromas.

The Story of Christmas was shortlisted for the Kate Greenaway Award, and A Balloon for Grandad was shortlisted for the Mother Goose Award.Excuse me now while I hide in the bathroom sucking my thumb for a while 😏and wait for a new hopefully better new year.
