This pairing of stories certainly seems to cover that statement, with a story set in Hades and steeped in sin, alongside one about the season of goodwill to all and general happiness. I like the contrast. I hope you do too.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Best Christmas Ever\u003cbr\u003eChristmas Eve has arrived and the whole world, it seems, is intent on doing the very last of the last-minute Christmas shopping.\u003cbr\u003eIn some, the day brings out unexpected acts of kindness, where others are left unmoved.\u003cbr\u003eThis story views the day through the eyes of a 'gentleman of the road', shuffling his way from an early morning rude awakening to a magical end as the day draws to a close.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMiss Goody Two-Shoes and the Devil\u003cbr\u003eTongue firmly in cheek, and sprinkling spilt salt over her left shoulder to ward off evil, Andrea Frazer takes us on a trip to Hell, where the daily grind (and groan) is about to be interrupted by a very rare event.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA pebble plinks on the vast black glass dome that serves Hell and it's environs as a sky, a precursor that there is trouble in the earthly realm. The Devil is incensed as he realises that there is 'one without sin' abroad: a situation that calls for immediate action of the most radical kind, if he is to save that soul from purity and sully it with hellish deeds!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"manoirdecrapaud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47108189880560,"sku":"2940045360333","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940045360333_p0.jpg?v=1763676965","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940045360333","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
