Celebrate the season with three timeless tales inspired by Jane Austen, Charles Dickens, and Beatrix Potter.

When Emma Grace Langley retreats to her grandmother’s antique shop in the snowy Cotswolds after heartbreak and job loss, she hopes to find clarity. Instead, she finds a collection of heirlooms—a portrait, a rare book, and a charming figurine—that unlock stories from the past. As each tale unfolds, Emma is drawn into the lives of three remarkable women whose lives were touched by England’s greatest storytellers.

In A Portrait of Faith, devoted daughter, Violet Walford, longs for a life beyond duty to her family. When she’s asked to paint Regency author Jane Austen, their unexpected friendship inspires Violet to pursue life and love with courage.

In A Victorian Christmas Tale, Clara Reynolds struggles against physical challenges and family expectations while falling in love with John, a writer with close ties to Charles Dickens. Their work at the London Foundling Hospital brings healing, hope, and a Christmas transformation that would make Scrooge proud.

And in A Tale of the Season, Edwardian heiress Arabella Graham escapes to the Lake District and meets a charming country veterinarian—and Beatrix Potter herself. With gentle wisdom and the peace of a country Christmas, Arabella discovers the joy of choosing her own path.

Blending romance, inspiration, and literary magic, A Very English Christmas is the perfect holiday escape for fans of historical fiction and classic English authors.
