***PRE-ORDER MIRANDA HART'S FIRST TALL TALE, OUT THIS AUTUMN*** From the bestselling author of I Haven't Been Entirely Honest With You comes a joyful, hilarious and heartwarming story of a seemingly ordinary woman, her beloved dog and a forgotten but friendly Christmas tree . . . Hello to you. I have written a short story, or Tall Tale as I like to call it, because I believe we all deserve moments to cosy up with something simple yet joy-filled and uplifting. If I may be so bold about my own tale! It contains, amongst many thrills I couldn't possibly divulge yet, intriguing and excitin g mishaps between a Christmas tree that not only talks, but dances (I know!); a dog called Jessie, who also talks, and a woman called Joan, who - less surprisingly, in that she is a human being - talks too. Interested? I should blooming well hope so!
