Hetty Feather's Christmas

Summary

Cosy up for Christmas with this festive story, starring everyone's favourite Victorian foundling, Hetty Feather!

"Let me tell you about Christmas 1888, when I was twelve . . ."

An unexpected gift leads to trouble for Hetty on Christmas Day at the Foundling Hospital, and the dreaded Matron Bottomly is delighted to have an excuse to exclude Hetty from the festive celebrations.

Poor Hetty is distraught - but just when it seems that all is lost, a dear friend arrives to whisk her away for a Christmas unlike any other . . .

Full of friendship, fun and festive cheer, this beautifully-packaged hardback is complete with stunning illustrations by Nick Sharratt. The perfect stocking-filler for every Jacqueline Wilson fan.
