At last, filled with happy anticipation, Jakey lifts the big bundle out of the drawer and puts it carefully on the sofa. Kneeling down, he begins to unpack the angel.
About the Author
Marcia Willett’s early life was devoted to the ballet, but her dreams of becoming a ballerina ended when she grew out of the classical proportions required. She had always loved books, and a family crisis made her take up a new career as a novelist – a decision she has never regretted. She lives in a beautiful, wild part of Devon where she loves to be visited by her son and his young family.
