Last Christmas in Hexwood

The witch is leaving the magical forest of Hexwood. And when the witch leaves, Hexwood will stop being magical. Which is bad news for all the enchanted animals who live in the wood, because they'll go back to being ordinary foxes and rabbits and hedgehogs.

But what can they do? Steal a spellbook from the witch? Concoct an unhinged plan to kidnap a human child to trick Santa Claus into helping them? Just how far are the animals prepared to go to make sure that this isn't their Last Christmas in Hexwood?

Tobias Sturt is a brilliant author and what is most lovely about his stories are the fact that they don’t need fast paced action and adventure to capture you - only interesting dialogue, beautiful description, and of course, incredible narration.

This is the kind of storytelling that makes you want to call in sick, ignore your family and, truth be told, become incredibly dejected that you’ve shown no restraint but instead gobbled up all of the past episodes way too fast and now you’re forced to listen to a morsel at a time (it’s an advent after all) but it is still ok because it is by far the best present ever.
