Eva Ibbotson is such a good writer that her characters break the bonds of the romantic novel.

Discovering Eva Ibbotson’s books is one of the nicest things that’s ever happened to me. The most beautiful, delicious, wry read – Marian Keyes
This lovely collection of short stories are typical of Ibbotson’s novels. They’re full of giddy romance, soul-stirring description of Old Vienna, handsome and intriguing men and girls who have a lot of feelings. Absolute bliss in other words! – Sarra Manning * Red online *
The late Ibbotson’s words live on in this atmospheric collection of wintery short stories. Lonely dreamers, ballerinas and a Christmas angel. * The i newspaper *
Her books are utterly delightful * Daily Mail *
