What has been your favourite Christmas fiction book? I'm talking warm, festive, merry, well written... I have yet to find the perfect story to curl up with a mince pie with during the xmas build-up. I feel duped so far as have often fallen for the publisher's ploy of a nice christmassy title/cover only to find out thay it is not about Christmas at all and the title has just been changed for a winter re-release. Bah Xmas Angry

Ooh. Love a good festive book in the run-up to Christmas. I also read 'The Box of Delights' every year (or watch the ancient BBC TV version on DVD). Agatha Christie did a festive Poirot. Think it's called Hercule Poirot's Christmas or something, if you like a murder mystery. Not fiction but I'm currently reading the new Nigel Slater book, The Christmas Chronicles and that's lovely. Lots of it is recipes but also really sweet essays on stuff like winter hedgerows. It's like an almanac that takes you from early November up to New Year. Not a story, but a definite 'lose yourself in with a glass of port in front of the fire hardback'.
