Publisher's summary

In the always eventful worlds of Jodi Taylor, it's never Christmas without illegal expeditions, riotous misbehaviour and stories you just can't put down . . .

This festive collection takes readers from Frogmorton Farm to Time Police HQ via the Institute of Historical Research at St Mary's in five (and a bit) short stories. A Bumper Bundle of Christmas tales collected together for the very first time.

Includes a Christmas message from the author herself and an exclusive new St Mary's scene, 'A Storm in a Teacup'

Why is Nothing Ever Simple? For once, this Christmas jump is perfectly legal - though that doesn't make it any less dangerous. It's Major Guthrie's last, and to the Battle of Bannockburn, no less.

The Ordeal of the Haunted Room Who wouldn't jump at the chance to experience an authentic Victorian Christmas? Complete with a murderous ghost and one terrifying night in a terrible storm.

The Toast of Time Max and Markham prepare for their very first Christmas away from St Mary's, sure to be full of Peace and Goodwill to all men . . . plus Fabergé eggs, legendary swords and a belligerent ram.

Santa Grint It all begins when the Time Police hold their first Christmas Party. Their most dangerous mission yet.

Joy to the World When things take a unseasonably tricky turn on Frogmorton Farm, only Thomas can step in to save Christmas day . . .

Always makes me laugh and while at work, makes co-workers wonder what I’m playing at 🤣

It was nice to hear all the goodies again plus now I have a better idea of what Joy to the world is about and think I should probably get it now

Joy to the World

The final story is just wonderful! Maybe my favorite Christmas story. I could almost smell the warm ginger biscuits.

Love Jodi Taylor’s Christmas stories!

We got stories from 3 of her ongoing series. I knew nothing about the Frogmorton Farm series but will now listen to the first one

Thank you!

I have always loved St. Mary's Christmas stories and the fact that you put them all together in one package is a great Christmas gift. I say "thank you" because you have added a different short story that now has me intrigued and curious about another series. Jodi Taylor you are the best.

These are a few of my favorite things…

I love Jodi Taylor’s work. Her story telling is first rate. This collection of shorter works is so much fun. The annual Christmas story has become part of my family’s tradition. Keep up the good work!

Her sense of humor

I love how the last short story tied in her other series.
Beautifully written and performed. Thank you for sharing your gift with us.

Nice introduction to St Mary's

This is a lovely collection of short stories. I have not read any books by Jodi Taylor before and these stories were a fun introduction to her broad cast of characters. I am intrigued by the snippets of life at St. Mary's and the Time Police and plan to continue to explore Ms. Taylor's future universe. The final story did not seem to connect for me. Laura Ramm was an excellent narrator. She made it easy to keep up with who was speaking and brought the stories to life.
