Book Description
Welcome to Hollybrooke, a charming little town where the Christmas spirit is as strong as the winter wind – and just as unpredictable. Here, the streets are lined with twinkling lights, the air is thick with the scent of gingerbread cookies, and the residents are a delightful mix of quirky characters, each with their own unique take on the holiday season. But let's be real, folks. The holidays are a rollercoaster ride of emotions. There's the joy of gift-giving, the warmth of family gatherings, and the magic of caroling under a starry sky. But there's also the stress of finding the perfect present, the awkwardness of navigating family dynamics, and the potential for things to go hilariously wrong. This book is a collection of 24 stories, each one a delightful peek into the lives of the residents of Hollybrooke as they navigate the joys and stresses of the festive season. So, buckle up, grab a cozy blanket, and prepare to laugh, cry, and maybe even feel a little bit of holiday magic yourself. And remember, even the most chaotic Christmas can be a wonderful one, as long as you have the right people, a good dose of laughter, and a whole lot of holiday cheer.

Publisher: McFarland
ISBN: 147662643X

Languages : en
Pages : 280
Book Description
More than 400 films and 150 television series have featured time travel--stories of rewriting history, lovers separated by centuries, journeys to the past or the (often dystopian) future. This book examines some of the roles time travel plays on screen in science fiction and fantasy. Plot synopses and credits are listed for films and TV series from England, Canada, the UK and Japan, as well as for TV and films from elsewhere in the world. Tropes and plot elements are highlighted. The author discusses philosophical questions about time travel, such as the logic of timelines, causality (what's to keep time-travelers from jumping back and correcting every mistake?) and morality (if you correct a mistake, are you still guilty of it?).
