It is winter at Rose cottage and Christmas is fast approaching. But for Arthur and Lucy Mildew they hold out little hope of receiving any presents. But Tumtum and Nutmeg have other ideas. This book also comes complete with a special recipe book filled with dishes and snacks written and annotated by the characters.

Tumtum and Nutmeg once again find themselves in a fantastic adventure. A circus adventure. Along with their old friend General Marchmouse and the two children, Arthur and Lucy, the Nutmouses find themselves at the circus.
