Description
A charming Christmas entry in Patrick Taylor's beloved internationally bestselling Irish Country series, An Irish Country Yuletide.December 1965. ‘Tis the season once again in the cozy Irish village of Ballybucklebo, which means that Doctor Fingal Flahertie O’Reilly, his young colleague Barry Laverty, and their assorted friends, neighbors, and patients are enjoying all their favorite holiday traditions: caroling, trimming the tree, finding the perfect gifts for their near and dear ones, and anticipating a proper Yuletide feast complete with roast turkey and chestnut stuffing. There’s even the promise of snow in the air, raising the prospect of a white Christmas. Not that trouble has entirely taken a holiday as the season brings its fair share of challenges as well, including a black-sheep brother hoping to reconcile with his estranged family before it’s too late, a worrisome outbreak of chickenpox, and a sick little girl whose faith in Christmas is in danger of being crushed in the worst way.As roaring fireplaces combat the brisk December chill, it’s up to O’Reilly to play Santa, both literally and figuratively, to make sure that Ballybucklebo has a Christmas it will never forget!Bonus: This heartwarming Yuletide tale also includes several mouth-watering recipes, straight from an Irish country kitchen.

Though James Herriot writes memoirs about veterinary practice in Yorkshire, and Patrick Taylor writes novels about practicing medicine in Northern Ireland, their fast-paced, engaging books offer similarly heartwarming, vivid descriptions of rural and village people and their lives. Each writes in a conversational tone that reflects local dialects. -- Katherine Johnson
Both authors create small but far from idyllic rural villages peopled with working class characters going about their lives. These leisurely tales set in the British Isles chronicle everyday events; their concerns are familiar to many of their readers, who enjoy seeing how the characters solve their problems. -- Lynne Welch
