 Let down fan October 19, 2008
Sindy H (Scotland)
I must comment of this book. I would not even give it one star. I bought this and saved it for my holiday. Firstly it is not obvious that it is short stories. The quality of the writing is equivalent of a fifteen year olds standard and definitely not of the superior standard expected from the author. I also was extremely disappointed in her previous book which I felt had not been written by her. I will not be buying any more of her books. I feel let down by her.
 A must read for all maeve binchy fans February 19, 2008

I didn't expect to enjoy this book, as I am not an avid lover of short stories. Howeve, each litle tome is relevant to Christmas, and each has a point to make, which ultimately leaves one with a "feel good" factor
 Unfair to Maeve -- not a rip-off! January 29, 2008

It really isn't fair to accuse Maeve Binchy of 'ripping people off' and she'd be very upset to hear people thought that. I happen to know the history of this book: no, absolutely, the stories aren't new, but yes, it is a new publication in this country.
Maeve has always written short stories for newspapers and magazines in the UK and Ireland; some years ago her Australian publisher asked to see some of her Christmas stories with a view to putting together a collection. Maeve agreed; and a collection of summer stories [The Return Journey followed]. Soon after, the American publishers asked for them and then one after another other languages and other territories published their own versions. The collection was never published in the UK precisely because Maeve didn't want to 'rip people off'; these stories had appeared in the press in the Ireland and the UK. The UK publishers were only allowed to publish the collections in their overseas territories despite the numberous requests from UK and Irish readers for the book. So anyone who has already read these stories has either bought them in another country's edition or airside in an airport advertised as 'not available in UK/Irish shops'. It has taken this long to persuade Maeve to allow the Christmas collection to be published in the UK; the summer collection will follow in a year or so.
So not a rip-off; just the first UK/Irish publication catching up with the rest of the world.

Having read the other reviews i will not be purchasing Return Journey. I have bought ms Bincheys short stories before and found the same stories under a different title. It is all very disappointing, but you can't expect a person to go on for ever having new ideas. Maybe its time the pen was retired.
I've already read this!! December 29, 2007

Like other reviewers, I was really pleased to pick up this book in the January sales at a low price, but having settled down to read it, was completely confused as to how I already knew the stories! THIS IS NOT A NEW BOOK!! Am very disappointed and would say that the publishers, not Ms Binchey are to blame for re-hashing a load of average short stories under a different front cover to cash in on the Christmas market.
