Rumpole at Christmas by John Mortimer

I have read this for 2 or 3 Christmases now and I do enjoy it. it’s an entertaining read and makes me wonder why I have not read the Rumpole series of books yet. Something to change in 2026.

An enjoyable collection of stories with great humour and observations about the British justice system.

A Book For Christmas by Selma Lagerlöf

An interesting little book, I had no idea about it or the author prior to reading it. It is a very Godly book and Christian with lots of messages about God and God’s will. Somewhat dated for today’s World I think. It does read more of a child’s book but I cant see today’s children getting through it.

The Night Before Christmas by Nikolai Gogol

Well when I started to read this book I was feeling very stupid and disappointed because I thought I bought the other ‘The Night Before Christmas’ where through the house … I was thinking I didn’t know it was set in Russia!

But when I started to read it, what an enjoyable and wonderful book. A certified classic and great addition to my Christmas line up. A fun plot with great characters, a very sweet tale.
