About this listen

Kent, 1953. The Woolworths Erith store, a beloved cornerstone of the community, faces closure if the December turnover fails to increase. And, as if store manager Betty Billington doesn't have enough on her plate, personnel shortages and a troublesome new employee add to the strife.

With Christmas on the horizon, Betty and her staff must strive to find solutions to improve business and keep the store running – from special events for late-night customers to a festive group trip into central London. The Erith Players pantomime also promises to draw a crowd, injecting excitement into the local community.

With the store festooned with decorations, lifting the spirits of customers and Betty, can a Christmas miracle save their beloved store?

A Christmas Wish at Woolworths is the next instalment in Elaine Everest’s much-loved Woolworths series – a heartfelt tale of resilience, community and an unwavering spirit during hard times.

This is the tenth book in the Woolworths series, following Celebrations for the Woolworths Girls.

The way new families were in this book, whilst retaining enough of the other books and using 2 stores. Almost a stand alone book, brilliant from start to finish. I think had Elaine not passed away this would have opened up for more books like this. One of my favourite if not the favourite of the series.

Completely different but still had some old characters Betty Billington, Sgt Mike Jackson

I love all these Woolworths series of books,and have listened to them all, it’s an easy listen and the narrators voice is so lovely, I feel these books are like a warm hot chocolate drink on a cosy sofa with a crackling fire in the grate, you feel like the characters are friends ,and don’t want the story to end.I hope the author writes a follow up
