Each line of this beautifully crafted Christmas story evokes the rugged countryside that the author loves, the heartlands of the Yorkshire Dales. A moving and charming story to warm our hearts at Christmas time. Jos Robertshaw and his wife, Emily, are Yorkshire hill farmers, used to being self-sufficient in a hard and sometimes bleak landscape. On a cold and snowy night when they open the door of their self-contained world to a mysterious visitor nothing will ever be quite the same again.

'The Visitor is a moving, evocative story that touches on the many aspects of my own experience, those childhood memories of Christmas at my home in the West Riding of Yorkshire'. Patrick Stewart, actor.

 'Chris Simpson is a master storyteller from the heartlands of the Dales. This tale will take you there and will touch your heart.' James Herriot, author

 'Chris Simpson is a born storyteller'. Dr Peter Clark
