For those of you who have enjoyed the BBC programme, ‘Antiques Roadshow’, I’m sure you’ll enjoy this Christmas story of the Three Magi taking their gifts for a free valuation.
The Antiquities Roadshow team arrive for the filming of the Christmas Edition at Peniston Manor on the morning when a newborn child is kidnapped from the local Bustington General Hospital. Taking clues from some of the items shown during the show, the team of experts-see if you can identify the real life characters- recover the child, coincidentally solve a four hundred year old riddle of lost treasure and thwart the plans of a ruthless collector. The story, comical at times, tells the story of an eleven year old girl with Spanish ancestry who attempts to cure her mother’s woe but sets in train a sequence of events that leads back to the seventeenth century and ends with a reminder of the enduring power of love and the magic of Christmas.
