Tidings: A Christmas Journey

About this book

"Come with me to St Pancras Old Church on a little London hill..." Its Christmas Eve and on this enchanted night Charoum the Angel of Silence can speak. As night turns to day he unfolds a resonant story of a little girl a homeless man and a fox... In the tradition of Charles Dickens and Dylan Thomas Tidings takes us on a journey into the heart of Christmas showing us celebrations down the ages and across the globe as dawn sweeps from East Australia to Bethlehem from London to the Statue of Liberty in New York. This is Christmas in all its magic reminding us that it is a time not only of good tidings but of loneliness and longing compassion and connection. Beautifully illustrated and exquisitely musical Tidings is a poem to be read out loud and cherished.
