But as the war draws closer, Tómas devises a plan to ensure his Grandfather's stories will still be at the heart of his family's Christmas - even if it means being braver than a boy ever dreamed he could be. Donning his grandfather's jumper for courage, working hard at chores for neighbours, he takes his hard earned pennies to shop for presents - only to find all the shops empty of stock. This is war time and rationing. There is just one shop still open - a bookshop.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eInspired by the Icelandic tradition of Jólabókaflóðið, where books are given as gifts on Christmas Eve.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Faber \u0026 Faber","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":60426671718745,"sku":null,"price":10.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0832\/2940\/9625\/files\/thexmasbook1.jpg?v=1794244175","url":"https:\/\/natureboundbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-christmas-book","provider":"Nature Bound Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
