Part of Renard’s Christmas Card Classics series, 25% of the RRP of each book sold goes to Three Peas. This year, instead of a Christmas card, why not send a book?

First published in 1938, Dancing Dan’s Christmas is a witty and evocative tale set in Depression-era New York City.

Several friends come together on Christmas Eve and soothe their souls with some bootleg spirits, and in the cloudy evening that ensues they make someone’s Christmas dream come true.

In a nutshell, Three Peas is a small charity supporting people who have had to flee war and/or persecution and who are seeking refuge and/or asylum in Europe. They are mostly active in Greece. They financially support a housing programme on Lesvos, a community centre in Sindos near Thessaloniki, a sports centre in Athens and NGOs’ emergency interventions in Thessaloniki, Lesvos and Samos. As well as the above they regularly support food and medical care providers.

Damon Runyon
