'The perfect Christmas story!'
Spirit of the Season is the incredible story of one man's selfless journey to achieve the impossible.
Set in the realistic and earthy environment of 18th-century England, Brian Lamont's startling narrative also refers to some of the darker aspects of the Industrial Revolution and introduces the reader to a host of colourful characters, who are brimming with old-world charm.
As mid-winter approaches, there unfolds a humorous, moving and powerfully uplifting festive tale - for everyone.
An ideal Christmas gift!
Reader Reviews
'tidings of joy', Concrete, UEA.
'a little gem of English literature ... a delight', M Bloomfield, Edinburgh.
'wonderful', J Rogers, London.
'truly surprising', E Quane, Norwich.
'phenomenal', P Athow, St Andrews.
While Christmas stories regularly come and go, 'Spirit of the Season' remains a firm favourite among the categories of historical fiction and children's literature. In this charming novel for all, Brian Lamont's unique prose elevates traditional Christmas reading, such as 'The Night Before Christmas' or 'A Christmas Carol', to new heights, while presenting a thoroughly entertaining and emotionally uplifting addition to any collection of seasonal books. Furthermore, Lamont's combination of eloquent storytelling, English history and festive joy makes 'Spirit of the Season' a must read! J Penbury, Edinburgh.
