The Twelve Days of Christmas

So beautifully and delicately done, woven like the most detailed tapestry. Witty, delightful and hugely satisfying...the perfect gift

Kate Griffin

This is a charming collection of stories, each of them delightful on their own but together creating a rich, festive tapestry. There is sparkling wit, romance and joy interspersed with poignant glimpses of darkness and sorrow which Susan Stokes-Chapman weaves beautifully throughout. It's the perfect gift to wake up to in your stocking on Christmas morning!

Jennifer Saint

An uplifting collection…absolutely the book I’m gifting everyone this year – it’s the perfect stocking filler

Venetia Constantine

‘A glorious treat…uplifting, poignant and astutely observed, this felt like being whirled away into a Regency ball.’

Naomi Kelsey

Reminiscent of enjoying the Christmas special of a period drama over the festive season. Jane Austen meets Downton Abbey in this heartwarming collection... romance, humour, poignancy, and a historical escape, all wrapped up together like a Christmas box.

Rachel Louise Driscoll

Simply sublime festive fiction. Five gold stars! Susan Stokes-Chapman's clever, amusing and beautifully written collection is the perfect gift for lovers of fine literature.

AJ West

Clever, funny and heartfelt... I found myself laughing and crying along with the characters. It’s the perfect comfort read. Fans of Jane Austen and Georgette Heyer will love it.

Theresa Howes

Beautifully written.. Perfect for cold winter nights by fire and candlelight..

Natalie Marlow

Susan is a masterful storyteller and I felt as if I was being whirled through the lives of her characters, with their sorrows and triumphs. Susan is as close to Austen as we have, and I was both entertained and immersed in the fullness of the world she has created.
