I’m going through a phase of revisiting all my childhood books - at the moment I’m reading the box of delights by John Mansfield, so Christmassy! Any recommendations to jog my memory, if really Christmassy books like this - already thought of Lion, Witch and the Wardrobe, but stuff like that…

The Amazing Mr Blunden by Antonia Barber is magical and has a lovely Christmas feel to it. The original film, directed by Lionel Jeffries, is a treat and there was also an updated version more recently on Sky with Mark Gatiss and Simon Callow.

The Wolves of Willoughby Chase, a lot of snow, big country houses, in a parallel ?regency timeline where wolves are still dangerously at large in England.

A little princess always feels christmassy to me too, but maybe it's just the miraculous morning she wakes to find her attic transformed!
