The Christmas hirelings

Sinopse

The Christmas Hirelings is a short novel by English author Mary Elizabeth Braddon, first published in 1894. Full of vintage festive cheer, this engaging tale following the adventures of Moppet and her friends when ageing, lonely Sir John Penlyon takes the unprecedented step of opening his manor house doors to three young children over the Christmas holiday season – but can the bitter old man succeed in opening his heart as well? A charming, heart-warming tale, bringing with it a little Christmas magic, and a message of kindness and goodwill, as relevant to our modern times as when it was first published. An unmissable addition to your festive book collection.
