"Richard Burton has been quoted as saying that he would rather be a writer than an actor. 'A Christmas Story', is singular proof that the ambition is not misplaced. it is a truly memorable tale that will seize and hold the heart of every reader.

Autobiographical in tone, the story is told from the viewpoint of an eight year old boy living in such a mining town as the one in which Mr Burton spent his childhood. It has a great sense of place, of community and of character, and strength and humour. No one will soon forget Sister and Mad Dan, nor Mrs Tabor T.B. And 'Tommy Elliot's farm' is likely to become everybody's idea of what not to get for Christmas. "
