The Winterman Lib/E Andrew David Barker

Late one snowy Christmas Eve, ten-year-old Penny is wide awake, worrying if Santa will come. The house is silent and still, but something miraculous is about to happen. A sleigh crash lands in a cove by the cottage and Penny meets a mysterious being known as the Winterman. This is the true Father of Christmas, an ancient and magical Gift-Giver, and he has a special present to give to a young boy in the nearby village and needs Penny's help to deliver it. So begins the most wondrous night of Penny's life. This is a story for the believers in magic and miracles. A story for the child in us all.
