Christmas with Norbert James Sutherland

Norbert the silly old horse and his best friend, Colin the Cuckoo, have never received a gift at Christmas time. With a little help from Delilah, the pretty pony from the next field, they devise a cunning plan which will see Colin (albeit reluctantly) embark on a daring raid into the very depths of Farmer Finbar's house; once inside, he must write a list to Father Christmas and send it up the chimney. Farmer Finbar, meanwhile, has problems of his own; he is sick and tired of spending Christmas alone and is determined to enjoy this year's festivities in the company of Mrs Muckleton, the love of his life. She, however, seems more interested in Finbar's deadly rival, Old Joe Baxter. The last thing the grumpy old farmer needs is an unexpected encounter with a mangy, overweight cuckoo... Far away, hurtling through the starry winter skies with his team of reindeer, Father Christmas is busy delivering gifts to all of the good children of the world, blissfully unaware of the chaos which will ensue when his flight path takes him directly over Norbert's field... Will Colin succeed in his daring mission? Will Norbert and Delilah ever receive their Christmas gifts? Will Finbar win the heart of his beloved? And will Father Christmas and Rudolph survive their first encounter with Norbert and his crazy chums? The third installment in the Adventures of Norbert and Friends.
