Tom's Drum

Is young Will a thief? Is young Tom playing tricks? Why are Tom's parents angry with the cook and the haughty servant? Why do the elves, gnomes and pixies visit Tom's grand house and Will's humble cottage on Christmas Eve? Tom's Drum provides answers to these questions. It also paints a lively picture of Britain during the early reign of Queen Victoria: when the rich and the poor, the masters and the servants, were expected to know their places. A story of music and magic, families and friendship, Tom's Drum begins and ends with Christmas, but is guaranteed to entertain young readers at any time of the year. And as this is a fairy tale, someone is sure to have a happy ending: but who will it be?
