Twas The Nightcap Before Christmas
Katie Blackburn, $19.99, Faber Books
It’s Christmas Eve and as usual mum and dad are knee-deep in presents that need to be wrapped. Dad suggests a sherry to keep us both going. Then out comes the Baileys. And mum hits the rum. A stocking-clad tango later, they drift off to sleep – the living room in disarray, their Christmas preparations in ruins. But come morning, it seems a mysterious visitor has saved the day. From the author of Where the Wild Mums Are and Where the Wild Dads Went.
