Mister Chips Saves Christmas
Step back into the glowing magic of a 1950s Christmas in Mister Chips Saves Christmas, a charming and nostalgic family tale told through the wide-eyed wonder of a five-year-old boy-and the unforgettable puppy who changed everything.
It's Christmas Eve, 1955, in the quiet village of Glencoe. Young Jeff Vetch awakens to swirling snow, mysterious noises on the roof, and what he swears is Santa launching off into a moonlit whirlwind. But the magic is only beginning...
When a mysterious letter appears and the children discover clues hidden inside their surprise balls, Jeff, his siblings Alec and Sharon, and their devoted stepfather set off on a snowy Christmas-morning adventure-one filled with neighborhood mysteries, blizzards, an eccentric local witch, unexpected gifts, and the kind of heartfelt surprises only the holidays can bring.
But the greatest gift of all is still to come: a tiny schnauzer puppy with a giant personality-the remarkable Mr. Chips. From wild winter storms to cozy fireside mornings, mischievous escapades to brave little heroics, Mr. Chips becomes the guardian, companion, and heart of the Vetch family.
As Jeff recounts the magical winter he met his beloved best friend, readers are transported to a world of:
✨ Classic mid-century Americana
✨ Sledding hills, model trains, and toy-store wonder
✨ Sibling adventures and neighborhood legends
✨ Holiday warmth, mystery, and gentle humor
✨ The timeless bond between a child and his first dog
Perfect for families, grandparents, dog lovers, and anyone who cherishes vintage holiday stories, Mister Chips Saves Christmas is a beautifully told memoir-style tale that feels like opening a long-lost treasured ornament from the attic-full of memories, magic, and meaning.
Curl up with a cup of cocoa and let Mr. Chips steal your heart
A new holiday classic is born.
