About The Book

The brilliant blockbuster from Ben Miller - the perfect book for all the family.

It's business as usual in the run up to Christmas at Santa's Workshop - and toy elves Holly and Tog are busy making gifts for children all around the world. But Father Christmas isn't feeling well, and Holly is worried that things won't be finished on time. Inventing a robot to help out with festive duties seems like a fantastic idea, until Father Christmas is KIDNAPPED and a race against time to save him and the big day begins. 

Funny and heartwarming, this beautifully illustrated pocket-sized story shows the importance of family at Christmas, and all year round. Discover more adventures from Hollie and Tog in Diary of a Christmas Elf.
