About this listen

It can safely be said that Lord Barnaby Greenwood is not having the best of Christmases.

He’s penniless, up to his eyeballs in debt, and about to lose his estate. Therefore, it’s hardly surprising that when a local property developer offers a lot of money to buy King’s Wood from him, Barnaby is very tempted. But his father had always impressed on him that the green wood was sacred and must be protected at all costs, so he finds himself saying no.

He knows this will result in the loss of his home, but duty comes before everything. However, that fateful decision leads instead to a magical Christmas for Barnaby, complete with an old god who grants him a favour, and a beautiful statue that comes to life.

Cosmo is perfect for him. He’s funny and kind and completely enraptured with Barnaby, and for the first time in his life, Barnaby falls in love. But how can this lead to anything but heartache, when on the last stroke of midnight on Christmas Eve, Cosmo will go back to being a statue and take Barnaby’s heart with him?

From best-selling author Lily Morton comes a truly magical romantic comedy.

This is a lovely Christmas fairytale. I loved the characters and the storyline, it makes you feel good and ready for Christmas and, as always, Joel Leslie was great.

When I read this it wasn't one of my favorite stories of Lily's, so why ask for a copy of the audiobook? Well I'm a weird creature and sometimes things that annoyed me when I read something, after time passed and listened to the same story I found that I quite liked it. 80% is due to the magic that is a narrator's talent to give life and depth to a character (certainly more than I can with how I read sometimes) and 20% is the mood I'm currently in.

This time though, no matter how much I enjoyed Joel Leslie's narration, how he brought forth Cosmo's love of life, Barnaby's affection to indulge Cosmo anything, and how even their chemistry was a bit more obvious, the magic that this story should be just wasn't there again or at times it was just too much. Just too easy and too sugary sweet.

A bit too sugary and easy solutions

Absolutely adorable.

A gentle, charming love story infused with magic. An underlying hint of melancholy pervades the first 89% of the book but the final two chapters are filled with sheer joy.

Joel Leslie does an excellent job infusing Cosmo with joy and wonder and yet still allowing the tale's melancholy background to peek through. Even though I had read the book in ebook form I still cried several times in the retelling.

I'm sure this will become an audio I revisit many times over.

Glorious
