The Visitor

Each line of this beautifully crafted Christmas story evokes the rugged countryside that the author loves, the heartlands of the Yorkshire Dales. A moving and charming story to warm our hearts at Christmas time. *** Jos Robertshaw and his wife, Emily, are Yorkshire hill farmers, used to being self-sufficient in a hard and sometimes bleak landscape. On a cold and snowy night when they open the door of their self-contained world to a mysterious visitor nothing will ever be quite the same again.
