When a magician (second class) chooses to do Christmas duty in the City of London, it's because he's hoping for a nice, quiet , seasonal time; not for ancient magic to break loose, and the enchanted city to be filled with ghosts, monsters, wonder and danger. Not on his watch. Not when he's going to have to deal with it all on his own. That would be an all too magical Christmas.
An All Too Magical Christmas is hopefully as magical as the title suggests. It includes characters from pantomime, classic Christmas stories like The Nutcracker, fairy tale and folklore, all bundled together into one slightly manic, slightly weird adventure. This might be the most ‘Christmassy’ of the stories to date.
