Learn moreKent, 1953. The Woolworths Erith store, a beloved cornerstone of the community, faces closure if the December turnover fails to increase. And, as if store manager Betty Billington doesn't have enough on her plate, personnel shortages and a troublesome new employee add to the strife.
With Christmas on the horizon, Betty and her staff must strive to find solutions to improve business and keep the store running โ from special events for late-night customers to a festive group trip into central London. The Erith Players pantomime also promises to draw a crowd, injecting excitement into the local community.
With the store festooned with decorations, lifting the spirits of customers and Betty, can a Christmas miracle save their beloved store?
A Christmas Wish at Woolworths is the next instalment in Elaine Everestโs much-loved Woolworths series โ a heartfelt tale of resilience, community and an unwavering spirit during hard times.
This is the tenth book in the Woolworths series, following Celebrations for the Woolworths Girls.
Elaine Everest, author of bestselling novels The Woolworths Girls, The Butlins Girls, Christmas at Woolworths and The Teashop Girls, was born and brought up in North-West Kent, where many of her books are set. She has been a freelance writer for twenty-five years and has written widely for womenโs magazines and national newspapers, both short stories and features. Her non-fiction books for dog owners have been very popular and led to her broadcasting on radio about our four-legged friends. Elaine has been heard discussing many other topics on radio, from canine subjects to living with a husband under her feet when redundancy looms.
