When Patch surprises Santa's reindeer, dropping presents from his Sleigh all over Wiltshire, Ollie & Rosie must visit local towns & landmarks to collect & deliver them in time for Christmas morning. Visiting Bath, Bristol, Box, Frome, Devizes, Bradford-on-Avon, Shaw, Swindon, Chippenham and more, it's a festive adventure through these illustrated real locations in & around Wiltshire.

This is a perfect stocking filler for Wiltshire families or a thoughtful keepsake for any local or visiting children. A unique alternative to the usual Christmas books, with a strong sense of place and a heartwarming ending.

While most stories in "The Lost Pages of " series follow the same story (in different places), "The Lost Presents of Wiltshire" Christmas special has a different plot with the same characters (plus Santa!). Many of the towns from previous books are re-visited with a Christmas-ey themed page of their own.

What makes this book special:

  • Beautiful snowy illustrations of local Wiltshire landmarks
  • Gentle rhyming storytelling perfect for bedtime reading
  • Real locations children can visit in & around Wiltshire
  • Illustrated Map showing all 23 locations visited in the story
  • 'Did You Spot?' section at the end to engage young readers
