What to expect
Brought to you by Puffin.
A new Christmas classic from a magical pairing: Dame Emma Thompson and Axel Scheffler.
The story of Jim: a very lucky, very special, very grubby dog, who lives, improbably, in the Victoria and Albert Museum.
Emma Thompson magically weaves the real-life tale of Jim - beloved dog of Sir Henry Cole who created the first Christmas card - with a fantastically warm and heartfelt Christmas romp, brilliantly illustrated by bestselling illustrator, Axel Scheffler.
A Christmas book to treasure, and an adventure filled with high emotion, guilt, redemption, unexpected presents and a life-changing brush with royalty.

Written with wit and delight in words, and embellished with cosy, humorous pictures.
Heartfelt, witty and full of fun
A magical tale that’s part fiction and part true-life story
