Description:
In spite of the fast-changing modern world, the values of the older people in Fairacre village
remain stable, and the arrival of a long-haired, feckless young mother who smokes can still
arouse shocked disapproval in the community.
In this charming tale, the author shows how differences of age, temperament, and way of life can be broken down and seen to be irrelevant in the miracle of a Christmas birth.
