Summary

It’s Christmas, and Jenny Checkland is beset with problems. The vicar, who really should know better, has asked to borrow Marilyn the donkey for the nativity play, thereby unleashing chaos on the already chaos-laden Frogmorton Farm.

Will Marilyn survive her bath? Will anyone survive Marilyn’s bath?

Robbed of her role as the Virgin Mary, what revenge is the angel Gabriel plotting? Why is that sheep so fat?

Will Charlie ever get to say his one line? Can Marilyn be prevented from eating the baby Jesus? Where is Thomas, who promised he would be there? And worst of all - will Russell, lost on the moor in a blizzard, make it back in time for the birth of his first child? Or even at all?

Another chance to meet the characters from the best-selling novel The Nothing Girl as they navigate the complexities of the local nativity play in their own unique fashion.

Nice and easy

Jodi Taylor has a lovely sense of humour finding the funny side of life, her books are a joy to listen to if you want a humour full everyday story with no descriptive murders or unnecessary nastiness. As much as I enjoy a good detective story Jodi's books are comforting and the narrator, Lucy, is brilliant.

Wonderful and funny

I have recently discovered Jodi Taylor's books and am now recommending them to all i can.
A great mix of humour and life.
A hint of Terry Pratchett at times too.

Can I have a donkey for Christmas?

With each short story that Jodi writes my preference for them grows. Always humorous, full of warmth and convey a lot of flesh to the plot of the larger stories. I hope these stories will flesh out the other sun characters in addition like that of the St Mary's chronicles, because at the moment Marilyn the donkey is the best of them.

Endearing

So sweet and endearing. I knew the donkey would have an interesting and different dimension and it was adorable.
