Father Christmas

<p><strong>Join Father Christmas on his busiest night of the year in this 50th anniversary edition of the hilariously irreverent Christmas classic!</strong><br /><br />Raymond Briggs, creator of <em>The Snowman, </em>introduces us to a rather grumpy Father Christmas in this brilliantly tongue-in-cheek festive tale.<br /><br />Father Christmas has awoken from a dream of summer sun to discover it is December 24th, Christmas Eve - the start of his longest night's work of the year! Much merriment ensues as Father Christmas travels the world, with a few issues along the way, to bring joy to children everywhere.<br /><br />Published 50 years ago, this delightful - and delightfully cheeky - classic story has lost none of its charm. This book was awarded The Library Association's Kate Greenaway Medal.<br /><br /><strong>More brilliant Raymond Briggs stories:</strong><br /><em>Father Christmas Goes on Holiday</em><br /><em>The Snowman - a wordless picture book</em></p>
