An Irish Country Yuletide
An Irish Country Yuletide: An Irish Country Novella | Patrick Taylor
6 posts | 3 read | 3 to read
A charming Christmas entry in Patrick Taylor's beloved internationally bestselling Irish Country series, An Irish Country Yuletide. December 1965. Tis the season once again in the cozy Irish village of Ballybucklebo, which means that Doctor Fingal Flahertie OReilly, his young colleague Barry Laverty, and their assorted friends, neighbors, and patients are enjoying all their favorite holiday traditions: caroling, trimming the tree, finding the perfect gifts for their near and dear ones, and anticipating a proper Yuletide feast complete with roast turkey and chestnut stuffing. Theres even the promise of snow in the air, raising the prospect of a white Christmas. Not that trouble has entirely taken a holiday as the season brings its fair share of challenges as well, including a black-sheep brother hoping to reconcile with his estranged family before its too late, a worrisome outbreak of chickenpox, and a sick little girl whose faith in Christmas is in danger of being crushed in the worst way. As roaring fireplaces combat the brisk December chill, its up to OReilly to play Santa, both literally and figuratively, to make sure that Ballybucklebo has a Christmas it will never forget! Bonus: This heartwarming Yuletide tale also includes several mouth-watering recipes, straight from an Irish country kitchen. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

This is the 16th book in the Irish Country series & I can't believe I've read 16 Irish Country books now! ( This book can easily be read as a standalone if you haven't been reading the series but be warned, once you've read this book you'll want to read the rest of the series!). This novella is much shorter than the other more lengthy installments in this series but no less charming! Set in the fictional Irish village (cont in comments)...

TheHeartlandBookFairy of Ballybucklebo, the holidays are not so happy and festive for everyone. Doctor O'reilly and his wife Kitty, along with his colleague, Dr. Lavery showing their typical kindness, set about to make things better for those who are experiencing illness or difficulties. A heart warming story set in a charming Irish village during a bygone era... A lovely escape and a wonderful read to start the holiday season. 2y
