‘A Christmas Catastrophe in the Enchanted Audley End Woods’ is an enchanting debut, co-written by sisters Amanda and Emma Neville, daughters of the founder of the Audley End Miniature Railway, the late Lord Braybrooke.

For a very long time both sisters have wanted to write stories in memory of their sister Hetty, and father Robin. Growing up together, they would often spend their days playing in the enchanted Audley End woods, acting out imaginative stories, surrounded by nature and all the woodland animals. They have brilliantly brought their dream to life in their debut book – “A Christmas Catastrophe”

In the story, Father Christmas rewards his special helpers, Robin and Hetty, with a golden bell from his sleigh. Each copy of the hardback book will include a golden bell, hidden in a red velvet pouch, for every reader to magically uncover on Christmas morning (with a little help from parents and carers!).
