I tried to portray the North Pole in a new way, and I'm interested to know what people think. I wanted to take it beyond the familiar "gumdrop fairyland" to give it a more realistic, stone-castle, historical fantasy setting. I did a lot of research on Victorian Christmas traditions and added my own brand of magic to give the story a unique structure. I also used a focus on both realistic and fantasized animals in a way that's familiar to the Victorian setting, but also hopefully sparks the reader's imagination and draws them into this new world. I'd love to hear what people think - whether they've read the book, or even simply based on my description here. Thanks!
