Sibeal Pounder has written a Christmas classic for the 21st century. This book is full of festive fun, mince pie picnics, friendship and feminism, a real Christmas treat. Enter Blanche Claus, an orphan living on the streets of Victorian London and her best friend Rinki. Tinsel tells us where we have been going wrong all these years, it is a real joy to to read and had me laughing aloud at times. The perfect book to redress the male bias that has pervaded Christmas for years, a joy that celebrates friendship and festivities. Very highly recommended.
