Jim's Spectacular Christmas cover

A new Christmas classic from a magical pairing: Dame Emma Thompson and Axel Scheffler.

The story of Jim: a very lucky, very special, very grubby dog, who lives, improbably, in the Victoria and Albert Museum.

Emma Thompson magically weaves the real-life tale of Jim - beloved dog of Sir Henry Cole who created the first Christmas card - with a fantastically warm and heartfelt Christmas romp, brilliantly illustrated by bestselling illustrator, Axel Scheffler.

A Christmas book to treasure, and an adventure filled with high emotion, guilt, redemption, unexpected presents and a life-changing brush with royalty.

A joyful stocking filler ... and a modern Christmas classic in the making. * The Times Children's Book of the Week *
A funny, unexpected festive tale ... absolutely packed with charm. Great fun for big and little kids. * Independent *
Written with wit and delight in words, and embellished with cosy, humorous pictures. * The Times *
Heartfelt, witty and full of fun * Press Association *
A magical tale that's part fiction and part true-life story * Woman & Home *
