Thank you to Sally Cronin from Smorgasbord blog for this beautiful post about Michael and my two new books, The Christmas Bird and Sir Chocolate and the Missing Christmas Harp. Smorgasbord is a beautiful magazine-styled blog with lots of interesting articles about books, health, music and many other exciting topics.
Welcome to the Smorgasbord Christmas Book Fair with a selection of books from personally recommended authors on my bookshelf I believe will make wonderful gifts for friends, family and for you.
First a lovely Christmas story for children from Robbie Cheadle, the perfect gift for 8-12 year olds who love to read. The Christmas Bird… available on Kindle Unlimited but also for sale.
About the story.
The Deanne family is having a difficult time financially. Mr. Deanne’s business has failed and there is no money for Christmas presents and other luxuries. The family’s undernourished dogs discover a bird’s nest on Christmas Day and attack and kill the chicks. All except one tiny ball of fluff with luminous bright eyes like drops of oil. The baby bird is in shock, but the four Deanne girls try to save it. Will the Christmas Bird survive?

Hi Wayne, I’ve only experienced snow in Johannesburg twice in my life time and it was gone in a day. We do get snow in the Drakensburg mountains during the winter months.

Hi Annette, I hope you enjoy the new Sir Choc. It has a few ideas your sister might enjoy and two recipes. The Christmas Bird is a little piece of Africa at Christmas time 😊
