Most fairy stories have the happy ending achieved through a lot of sorrow, pain, hard work and keeping on going. This Christmas story follows that pattern and throws in a few musings on God and choices and what makes a good person. And it shows a few law abiding respectable adults who are not good people.
"Christmas was only a chance: you could take the chance, or you could ignore it. You could open your heart, or just deck the halls with boughs of holly." p146
This is an excellent story which I highly recommend at any time of the year.
What Child is This first published 1997, I read the Macmillan 1998 edition.
