Christmas Pudding

Description

Make a loved one smile with this classic Christmas read – a perfect stocking filler!

”Christmas Day was organized by Lady Bobbin with the thoroughness and attention to detail of a general leading his army into battle . . .”

The formidable fox-hunter Lady Bobbin is holding a Christmas house party. Attendees include her rebellious daughter Philadelphia, a pompous suitor, a couple of children poring over newspaper death notices, and a dejected writer whose first serious novel has been declared the funniest book of the year. Add to the mix beautiful ex-courtesan Amabelle Fortescue and her guests staying in a neighbouring cottage and you have a ribald tale of true love and false fidelity, hijinks and low morals, not to mention the consumption of a considerable quantity of Christmas spirit.
