Rachel Coverdale was born and bred in the beautiful North Yorkshire countryside in North East England.

A plea from Santa

Dear Parents and Carers,

Thank you for your support over the years. I am always made to feel welcome in your homes – glasses of milk or something stronger, cookies or slices of Christmas cake, oats for my reindeer…

However, there’s something I’ve been uncomfortable with that has built up over the years. Despite only leaving one or two small presents in each child’s stocking, children are crediting m

“Last year in a library in Alaska I read a folk tale in a random book on a random shelf & have been thinking about it since & today I wrote the librarian w/ no book title or author & in 2 hrs I had a scan of the story & cover in my inbox -- Librarians should be running everything. [Twitter]”
