Ediz Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 Hi friends, I'm looking for a novel about christmas. I have never read a book about christmas in English Literature so far. I don't want children's books, I had read popular of them when I was child. Can anyone recommend a christmas novel for me to read? Thanks so much!

libri vermis Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 A Christmas Carol is a great one! If you are looking for something funny, you could try The Stupidest Angel by Christopher Moore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linda Gillard Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 If you want a very English book and something comic, a bit like P G Wodehouse, I would recommend Jane Gordon-Cumming's A PROPER FAMILY CHRISTMAS. (She's Katie Fforde's sister.) It has a lovely Christmassy cover too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SueK Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 Have you read any of these? Are they scary? Hi, no I haven't read any of them but I'm planning to buy one or two for Christmas reading. I have read Anne Perry's WW1 books and I think they are beautifully written. She is a very prolific writer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
