Advent calendar library card - Personalized

Santa has slipped away to his favourite place — a cosy old library on Christmas Eve. But this library is keeping secrets. Hidden among the crowded bookshelves, drawers, picture frames and lanterns are 24 little doors. Behind each one waits a character from a beloved Christmas classic. Your challenge this December: find today's door, meet the character, and guess which book they come from. From Dickens to Andersen, from snowy fairy tales to cosy family novels, these are the stories readers return to every winter. Some you'll know at first glance. Others will have you pulling books off your own shelves for clues. How it works

1. Find the door. The numbers are tucked into the illustration and not in order, so the hunt is half the fun.
   
2. Open it. A hand-drawn character from a famous Christmas story is waiting inside.
   
3. Guess the book. Say it out loud, write it down, or turn it into a family game.
   
4. Check your answers on Christmas Eve. All 24 answers, with book title, author and year of publication, are sealed in an illustrated envelope. No peeking!
   

Why readers love it

• A puzzle, not just a countdown: every day is a small literary quiz.
  
• Hand-illustrated artwork: a detailed ink-and-watercolour library scene full of tiny details, cats, candles, ladders and garlands. It is lovely enough to keep up all season.
  
• 24 timeless classics: all stories are well-loved Christmas and winter reads, perfect for sparking "I've read that!" conversations.
  
• Answers sealed until Christmas Eve: the illustrated answer envelope keeps the suspense (and settles family debates).
