There's a little bit of everything here-- mystery, humor, fantasy, and adventure, each story a perfect length to enjoy with a hot cup of tea at the end of a busy day. Well-told with happy endings, these are my favorite kind of stories. Some of them made great read-alouds with the family. And I love that they were written from three different continents (North America, Europe, and Australia) -- each author's voice in this collection is unique.

This is an excellent collection of festive tales, which are even better than those in volume one of the Book Elves anthologies.

As one of the authors featured in this anthology, I can't exactly give an unbiased review...but I have to say, there are some terrific stories in here, even aside from my own!
