"Three Christmas editions were released: Christmas Story Teller 1 (1983), Christmas Story Teller 2 (1984) and Christmas Story Teller 3 (1985). Each had a “bumper 64 pages”, roughly the equivalent of two normal Story Teller issues. These three special editions had a fantastic mix of festive stories and popular carols."

The girl leaning over him could find no pulse, no beat from either of his hearts. His skin was icy cold to the touch.”
"When a blank space under the Christmas tree is the ultimate flex."
"The autumn has delivered an exceptional display of colour, and the trees have been laden with generous gluts of fruit. We have been truly fortunate this season, with traditional store cupboards now struggling under the weight of chutney and jam made from the abundant harvest."
"Shelby Lack at North Devon Hospice explains why she does all her Christmas shopping in its charity shops."
