It's that time of year again, time for mistletoe and holly.
Today I am reviewing just one story in a collection of Christmas novellas
called Regency Christmas Spirits. I
love classic regency romances because there is hardly any sex in them, because
quite frankly in those days gentlemen did not seduce ladies before their
wedding night :). I will only review one story though because the title of such
a collection can be open to interpretation. One story can be about the Ghost of
Christmas Past helping his descendants find true love and happiness and the
next story can be about how true love is the real "magic" of Christmas.
So about that story...
The Merry Wanderer by Nancy Butler
Robin Goodfellow (or Puck as he is commonly known) is sent
into Regency England to confront Julia, the last guardian of the Book of Trey.
The Book is the only thing keeping the land of Faerie attached to the mortal
realm and if it is lost, then Faerie is lost as well. But Julia does not
believe in Christmas or magic or Faerie and it is up to Robin and his ally
Merlin of Arthurian lore to convince her that such things do exist. A fun little romance and one where everyone
lives happily ever after in the end.
