About the Book

Lydia (an eleven year old girl), decides to build a snow girl with the help of a speaking Robin. The snow girl is in fact a sacred spirit who accompanies Lydia back to the last London frost fair and subsequently to the edge of the Universe in an attempt to escape “The Cardinal” (a fanatical character who wants to abolish Christmas - as his hero Oliver Cromwell succeeded in doing for a period of six years). Will The Cardinal succeed? Or will Lydia save Christmas and find her way home? Find out, in the first of this series of stories about “The Girl Who Grants Wishes.”
