Bringing Christmas Magic to Life with Our First-Ever Children’s Book
We’re thrilled to announce the launch of something close to our hearts: our first-ever Christmas children’s book, The Magic of a Christmas Gift. Written by our own Matt Lewis and beautifully illustrated by Amy Willis, this magical tale is full of kindness, friendship, and the spirit of giving—all the things that make Christmas so special.
The story in The Magic of a Christmas Gift is a heart-warming reminder that even the smallest gestures can make the biggest difference, often inspiring dreams and miracles we never expected. The characters are inspired by the youngest members of our Old Railway Line family, which has made this project incredibly personal and meaningful for us.
What makes this launch even more exciting is that all profits from book sales will go directly to two remarkable charities:
-
Be More Frank: This fund, part of the Grace Kelly Childhood Cancer Trust, was created to honour Frank, a young boy who lost his battle with a rare bone cancer at just 13 years old. Be More Frank provides support for families affected by childhood cancer in Herefordshire, Powys, and the surrounding areas.
-
Ewing’s Sarcoma Research Trust: In partnership with the Bone Cancer Research Trust, Eif’s Ewing Sarcoma Research Fund is dedicated to supporting families impacted by primary bone cancer and advancing research. Every copy sold will contribute directly to this critical work.
“We hope this story adds a touch of magic to everyone who reads it. With each purchase, you’ll help support Be More Frank and the Ewing’s Sarcoma Research Trust in their vital work,” Matt Lewis shared. The story’s magic has even inspired our upcoming Christmas video, which will be released on Thursday, 7th November - so keep an eye out for it!
Whether you’re looking for a festive gift for the children in your life or a story that brings warmth to every family, The Magic of a Christmas Gift makes a perfect addition to your Christmas celebrations. You can find it now in our Christmas and Gift Department or order it online through our website, for delivery anywhere in the UK.
