I bought this book around this time last year, and I was planning to read it before Christmas but then I hadn't found time for it until now. And I am so glad I have finally read it, for it was such a heartwarming story that I was just in a need for. Regardless to the name of this book, it actually wasn't just about Christmas time because it showed the whole year on the Primrose Terrace from spring to winter. I really didn't mind, though, for it gave me time to find out even more about all of the characters. And I really adored the whole story. Cat was very reliable character and I genuinely grew fond of her. She was kind of amorphous and hence really funny, but she was also generous and noble-minded, and I found her rather bonny and sweet.
What I liked the best about A Christmas Tail were the dogs. They were so beautifully captured by the author. Thanks to her affectionate descriptions, I could imagined them in my head really colourfully and veritable. They were as important aspect of the story as the characters themselves. So I would really recommend this book to all of you who love dogs as much as Cat does. I am sure you'll find it captivating and infinitely lovely. It's a percfect comfort read for gloomy afternoons spent in a warm chair with a cup of tea...
