Dear ClaireBear

Thank you for your letter. I do like the idea of things other than cookies. You are correct in the fact I eat far too many of them on my run.

I am at the moment in BIG trouble with Mrs Claus. When I started looking for books you would like I started reading all my favourites and she couldn't get me to do anything. She has now confiscated them and locked the book store :-(

Since she won't let me have the key I decided I'd better send you a list which you might appreciate - all would be suitable for you and cub and most of them are the first one of a series.

Pure Dead Magic - Debi Gliori
The Whitby Witches - Robin Jarvis
Weirdstone of Birsingamon - Alan Garder
A Wizard of Earthsea - Ursula Le Guin

I know you can get them on Abebooks on your computer. Hope you will try some of them.

Now that I can't spend my time reading I really must get your parcel packed up and sent. Watch out for it arriving about Yule

Lots of love and hugs
