It's time to cosy up, and enjoy this magical tale.
Perfect short story from the author to start off the festive season. This lovely tale seems to stay in your thoughts long after reading it, as Elliot's journey, and the people he meets along the way, evoke strong memories in him and he begins evaluating his life. He realises he has overworked and tired himself out to afford and enjoy the material items he cherished so much. He remembers the simple pleasures in life are goodness and kindness which mean the most to other people and can have such a positive effect all round.
A timely reminder of what the coming festive season is all about, to give up a little piece of your time in your busy life not only to gain appreciation from others but to gain satisfaction from doing a good deed.
It's time to cosy up, and enjoy this magical tale.
