As a child I was read Winnie the Pooh and Little Grey Rabbit - both of the 1930s and a world away. This was so sweet and gentle, unfathomable today for it’s lack of action I’d imagine. There is no heavy moralising but the character of little grey rabbit is so very kind and the fact that it ends with the most solitary creature giving a party or the unwanted rats giving delicately made thoughtful gifts says plenty. For my father the details around the seasons and country folklore was very evocative.

Written in a simpler time, this gentle tale of three friends who share a sled and a home is perfect for the winter season. The joys of fresh snow and playing together are celebrated. When Christmas comes there is a community party. Generosity and companionship are celebrated.
Beautifully illustrated, the images would look amazing framed.

This is a sweet story based on the childhood experiences of the author, the way Christmas celebrations used to be. Marvellously illustrated.

This whimsical Beatrix Potter rip-off recounts old-timey fun anthropomorphic animals enjoy at Christmas. A charming, cozy read.

As a family tradition we read this every Christmas. Charming nostalgia from an author who lived this life and remembered these traditions. Beautiful illustrations.

This is Beautifully illustrated and lovely stories apparently timeless in their appeal as I still have the original editions from my own childhood.

This was a present from my parents for my first Christmas. Rereading it this year many many years later I still love it.
