Christmas Present

This Christmas story, winner of the WHSmith Illustration Award, tells the story of the Christmas present which Father Christmas forgot. One Christmas Eve, Father Christmas returns home after a hard evening's present delivery. Having put his reindeer to bed, he is just about to go to sleep himself, when he makes a distressing discovery: there is still one present left in his sack of him! It is for Harvey Slumfenberger, a poor boy whom Father Christmas knows only ever gets one present, the one that Father Christmas brings him. So, tired as he is, Father Christmas sets out alone for Harvey Slumfenberger's home far, far away on top of the Roly Poly Mountain. But will he get there in time?
