Lassen Sie sich verzaubern von der schönsten Weihnachtsgeschichte in diesem Jahr! Ein nostalgischer Spielzeugladen, ein preisgekrönter Weihnachtsmarkt in Bath und eine große Portion Wunder. Immer wenn die junge Illustratorin Julie Marin den von ihr jährlich neu gestalteten Adventskalender im Fabulous Emporium abgibt, beginnt für sie die weihnachtliche Zeit voller Lichter und Geheimnisse. Und immer nimmt ihn John Wood, der Inhaber dieses traditionsreichen Spielzeugladens, voller Vorfreude entgegen. Auf dem legendären Weihnachtsmarkt im englischen Bath überwacht Nick Barley indessen den Aufbau eines riesigen «Wunschbaums». Ob auch Julie – die er aus der Distanz lieben muss, weil sie all ihre Liebe für ihren herzkranken Sohn Archie aufwendet und darüber die Bedürfnisse ihres eigenen Herzens vergisst – ihren persönlichen Wunschzettel dort aufhängen wird? Oder Archie und seine Freundin Emma, die ihre Einsamkeit in einer innigen Kinderliebe zu überwinden suchen? Nicht alle Wünsche gehen in Erfüllung. Und doch kann womöglich gerade zu Weihnachten das Wunderbare für all jene geschehen, die bereit sind, dem Zauber des Unglaublichen zu vertrauen …

Enter the mysterious Mary Magdalene, the ‘do badder’ Howie, his loutish colleague Nev the Rev, the dapper but devious art critic Giles and the darkest ‘Comedy of Terrors’ ensues. From the glamorous galleries of London, Paris and New York to an unexpected cremation in the Australian outback there is no holding Jeremy and his hell-bent ambitions, both predatory and businesswise.
