My great-grandsons loved me reading to them about silly grandma and Gertrude the cat shooting down the chimney. This book is so beautifully illustrated it deserves a place in every home for young children.

‘I bought some of your wonderful books and on the evening of 25th December when all my grandchildren were about to fall asleep, I read them (by torchlight!) Grandma’s Christmas Surprise, about all of Grandma’s antics. The writing was glorious – they were transported!’
