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.

Lily Morton’s story and Joel Leslie’s reading of it is perfection.
Morton brings together gods, goddesses, folklore, magic and humour in an incredibly endearing contemporary love story. As always her characters are delightful - both Barnaby Greenwood, desperately trying to save his ancestral home and the wood that goes with it and Cosmo, the Greek statue that miraculously comes to life for five days, complete with his dog Cyrus. I loved every moment of their story!

A lovely fantastical Christmas romance
