An Enchanted Bookshop Christmas
Revisit or discover anew the beloved literary characters of the bestselling The Enchanted Bookshop in this very merry prequel. This time, they re joined by a whole crew of Christmas themed characters, including the Nutcracker Prince, Amy March, the Velveteen Rabbit, the Little Match Girl, and even Ebenezer Scrooge himself!
As the play begins, it s four days before Christmas and Miss Margie, the scatterbrained owner of the shop, is thrilled to have two very special guests her serious-minded sister Ellen and book-loving niece Annabelle. Ellen was recently laid off from her position as an astronomy professor, and she s certain she ll never find a job again. Her luck changes, however, when high-tech billionaire Philip Brantley stops in at the shop and Margie convinces him to hire Ellen for his new space project.
With Ellen out shopping, Margie has a brainstorm to wrap the bookmark that Philip wrote his phone number on and give it to Ellen as a Christmas present. After all, what could possibly go wrong? Ha!
When the present disappears, it s up to our come-to-life book characters to solve the mystery of the missing bookmark and save the day for Ellen all without giving away their magical existence. It s a hilarious, heartwarming tale that reminds us that the best gifts don t come wrapped in pretty paper and bows.
