Condition Report: New. This copy presents exceptionally well in its original pictorial wrappers, remaining bright, square, and tightly bound. The spine is uncreased, suggesting it has been read carefully or not at all, and the hinges are entirely sound. The extremities show only the most trivial hints of shelf wear to the corner tips, while the page block remains clean and entirely free of any toning, foxing, or internal blemishes. An excellent, sharp copy.

Catalogue Note: This is a crisp paperback edition of Matt Haig's acclaimed sequel to A Boy Called Christmas, beautifully brought to life with illustrations by Chris Mould throughout. Published by Canongate Books, it forms a central pillar of Haig's beloved festive series.

As a modern classic of children's literature, this title is readily found in print, but it is uncommonly found on the secondary market in such sharp, near-fine condition without the heavy reading wear typically associated with juvenile fiction.

Amelia Wishart was the very first child to receive a Christmas present, her hope providing the magic Father Christmas needed to make his inaugural journey. But a year later, Amelia is trapped in Mr Creeper's cruel workhouse, her mother is gone, and her hope is rapidly fading. Up at the North Pole, the magic levels are dropping dangerously low. With the help of some elves, eight reindeer, Queen Victoria, and a man named Charles Dickens, Father Christmas must embark on a desperate rescue mission to find Amelia before the magic of Christmas disappears forever.

Book Condition Guide

We stock thousands of books in a wide range of conditions. To make things clear and to help you know exactly what to expect, Please refer to these condition categories to understand the condition of the book you will receive.

Condition	Description
New	A brand-new, unread and professionally handled book. Carefully preserved from publication to purchase, these books are offered in the best attainable condition. This grade applies to recently published titles that have not entered long-term storage.
As New	The book is in pristine, original condition as if just published. No signs of use or handling. The dust jacket (if present) is equally flawless. This grade applies to any book that has remained untouched in storage for years.
Fine	The book is close to As New. It remains bright and attractive, but could show minor imperfections to the boards and/or dust jacket (if present). Its pages are typically clean and unmarked.
Near Fine	The book has a number of small flaws, i.e. slight rubbing to the edges, or tiny chips or creases to the dust jacket (if present). Its pages may have faint marks, or creases that are barely perceptible — nothing that detracts from their overall condition.
Very Good	The book maintains its structural integrity, and has no major flaws such as tears to its binding or pages. It may, however, show signs of careful use, handling, or storage — small marks and creases, light foxing. Its dust jacket (if present) remains fully intact, but small tears may be present.
Good	A book that remains intact and readable with complete text pages, but shows moderate signs of wear and use to both the book and dust jacket (if present). It may have noticeable creases, nicks, or stains, and the spine likely shows fading, bumping, and rubbing. There could be writing, underlining, and other marks on some pages, though the majority will be clean and tidy.
Fair	A book with significant wear or damage. The text pages will be complete, but there may be heavy underlining, highlighting and staining throughout, and the book’s endpapers, half-title, and copyright pages could be damaged or missing. The binding could be loose, and the dust jacket (if present) may have notable scuffs or tears. These copies are usually of interest for content, signature(s) or scarcity.
Poor	A heavily worn book whose value lies in its complete and legible text. A poor book will have substantial defects — loose joints or hinges, detached covers, loose and/or missing pages, and could be heavily soiled. A poor book is also known as a reading copy, and although compromised, can hold historical or bibliographic significance.
