Feel-Good Collection

Christmas Magic by Cathy Kelly is a delightful collection of contemporary Christmas tales that is just perfect to read in the run up to the festive season.

You can read the book cover to cover, as I did, or just dip in and dip out as the fancy takes you.

All the stories are feel-good tales that will leave you feeling warm and welcome.

The vast majority of the stories are set in Ireland and there are an eclectic mix of characters.

There is something for everyone in this charming collection.
