A child called Christmas, Netflix movies are released and Haig book returns

(ANSA) – ROME, NOV 23 – MATT HAIG, A CHILD CALLED CHRISTMAS (SALANI, PP 272, EURO 15.90). The unforgettable story of Santa Claus told by Matt Haig, one of the most beloved contemporary English authors, from which the film by Gil Kenan with Jim Broadbent, Henry Lawfull, Kristen Wiig and Maggie Smith was based, returns to the bookstore for Salani in a new edition, with illustrations by Chris Mold, on the occasion of the release, on November 24, of the film Netflix.

It is ‘A child called Christmas’ full of impossible and unexpected things.

Now everyone knows who Santa Claus is. But there was a time when nobody really knew him. It was when he was just a little boy named Nikolas, who lived in the second smallest house in all of Finland, with a father who was a woodcutter, an aunt who had a very bad temper and a turnip doll, who then mysteriously disappeared. This is his story, an adventure full of snow, kidnappings, grumpy reindeer, dreamy mice, and then more snow, elves, trolls, again snow and magic, lots of magic. Magic, if you believe it, never betrays.

Born in Sheffield in 1975, Brighton-based Matt Haig has won the Blue Peter Book of the Year Award and the Nestlé Children’s Book Prize Gold Award as a children’s novelist. He is the author of successful novels such as ‘The Club of Extinct Fathers’, ‘The Radley Family’ and ‘The Humans’. With Ponte alle Grazie he published his memoir ‘Reasons to continue living’ and with Salani ‘Being a cat’ and ‘The girl who saved Christmas’.
