Returning from the theatre with the family one bitterly cold night, Alyce and Emily discover a tramp asleep under a railway bridge.
The next day, the girls feel impelled to search him out in wintry London, and from then on Benedict O’Hara becomes their worry and concern.
Does he really want to return to his native Ireland for Christmas?
And, anyway, could the fare be raised in such a short time?
However, for Alyce there is the more disturbing, though irrational, fear that their marvellous traditional family Christmas might be altogether ruined.
While John Rae was Headmaster at Westminster School, he wrote five books, one for each of his four daughters Siobhan, Penelope, Alyce and Emily; and one for his twin sons Shamus and Jonathan (called ‘The Third Twin’). These family-oriented adventure stories were written while he was living in Dean’s Yard, in the heart of London, under the shadow of Westminster Abbey.
The five books are:
Christmas is Coming
The Golden Crucifix
Return to the Winter Palace
The Third Twin
The Treasure of Westminster Abbey
