Leseprobe
It was a strange feeling, looking for your Christmas tree in an actual wood. They crunched through the frost, Harris carrying the axe, Father a bag full of thick cord. Above their heads, the wood was alive with the flutter and rustle of tree-branches and birds. Alex could feel the excitement bubbling in his stomach. It was nearly Christmas! A Victorian Christmas!
