This is the true story of Father Christmas. It is a story that proves that nothing is impossible. It is a tale of adventure, snow, kidnapping, elves and an 11-year-old boy called Nikolas, who isn't afraid to believe in magic.

THE COMFORT BOOK

It is a strange paradox that many of the clearest, most comforting life lessons are learned while we are at our lowest. But then we never think about food more than when we are hungry, and we never think about life rafts more than when we are thrown overboard. The Comfort Book is a collection of consolations learned in hard times and suggestions for making the bad days better. Drawing on maxims, memoir and the inspirational lives of others, these meditations celebrate the ever-changing wonder of living. This is for when we need the wisdom of a friend or a reminder we can always nurture inner strength and hope, even in our busy world.
