The Midnight Library
The life-changing reader-favourite, from the acclaimed author of How To Stop Time, Reasons to Stay Alive and The Comfort Book
“I am old. That is the first thing to tell you. The thing you are least likely to believe. If you saw me you would probably think I was about forty, but you would be very wrong.”
“I know that some of you reading this are convinced humans are a myth, but I am here to state that they do actually exist”
“She was the first child. The girl who saved Christmas. And Father Christmas would never forget it…”
Listen to Stephen Fry read from A Boy Called Christmas by Matt Haig! But only if you believe in impossible things.
