“Lili Hayward is a beguiling new voice. Her prose is stunning and effortless; I devoured every word. Breath-taking and beautiful, evocative and richly described, The Cat of Yule Cottage has magic sewn into every page.”
Tilly Tennant, author of Christmas at the Little Village Bakery
As Lili Hayward I’m the author of The Cat of Yule Cottage (2016) and A Midwinter’s Tail (coming October 2023); a magical, festive novella, featuring romance, Cornish folklore, Christmas and cats, set on the Isles of Scilly.
