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.

The first author is Jemima Pett with a book from her children’s series and wonderful for children who have small furry pets such as guinea pigs.  The Dylan, Deirdre & Dougall collection (The Princelings of the East) – The Messenger Misadventures:

I wish there were more such tales to be had.
