Advent Street...

In this enchantingly illustrated Christmas poem, Carol Ann Duffy invites readers to open the windows on Advent Street.

In each one is a gift. You may find yourself watching a ballerina poised to begin dancing or catch your lips moving in time with a festive song that drifts into the night. Whatever the surprise, when the curtains draw back and the lights sharpen, Duffy’s beguiling words, paired with captivating illustrations from Yelena Bryksenkova, call you inside to feel the warmth.
