For those who might prefer a historical fantasy, Alice M. Hadfield’s book is an excellent choice. A retelling of Thomas Malory’s late fifteenth century text Le Morte d’Arthur, it is a compelling and nostalgic read. The story follows the young Arthur, from the moment where he pulls the sword from the stone to his coronation and the building of his famed round table around which only the best knights in England may sit. It is an informative and classic tale, filled with chivalry, bold deeds and adventure!
If you have ever entered Terry Pratchett’s Discworld, then you will know it is a world very much like our own – except for the fact that it’s flat and balanced on the back of four elephants all standing on the back of a giant turtle! In this story, there is much at stake and a hero is required to save the day! Unfortunately, there is only an inept wizard – and a well-meaning tourist – to hand. Pratchett’s brilliant sense of humour and his understanding of politics, religion and history truly bring his writing to life.
Step back in time with Rosemary Sutcliff’s brilliant tale. Beautifully written and filled with intriguing characters, Dragon Slayer takes inspiration from the epic poem Beowulf. Sutcliff keeps her prose close to the events of the original poem, recounting some of Beowulf’s most terrifying quests. She is a master storyteller and one of the finest children's historical fiction writers of the twentieth century. Simple, powerful and imaginative, Dragon Slayer is a wonderful tale that could bring some magic to your home this Christmas.
This stunning single paperback, containing The Lord of the Rings trilogy, is the perfect Christmas gift.

Tolkien breathes life into his work and his ability to create believable characters and vividly depict his settings is breath-taking!
