Description
Rag-And-Bone Christmas by Dilly Court is a heartwarming festive saga set in London in December 1865. Sally Suggs works tirelessly to bring in enough money to keep bread on the table, after her father falls ill and takes up the family trade of rag-and-bone collecting. However, in a man's world, competition is fierce, and Sally's rival Finn Kelly always seems to be one step ahead. As the family's valuable possession, their horse Flower, is threatened, Sally must find help in unexpected places to ensure their survival.
With the snow falling fast, Sally's situation becomes increasingly precarious. Can she outsmart her rival and protect her family's interests, or will London's underbelly of black-market traders prove too much to overcome? Dilly Court's latest festive tale is a gripping and emotional read that explores the challenges faced by those on the margins of society.
