"This was the best £5 I''ve ever spent. We purchased this from the author at Knebworth Christmas Fayre. For everyday in Advent you get to read a chapter and the tears that came when my daughter knew we had read the last page because we enjoyed this book so much. 1000% can''t recommend it enough and it was lovely snuggling down each night to find out what happens next. We hope you enjoy it as much as we did. Thank you for a wonder book." (Instagram)

"A wonderful Christmas story with lots of adventures that can be read to children of all ages. Well written and illustrated. Highly recommend. (Goodreads) Glowing Editorial Reviews
LoveReading4Kids is the biggest and best recommendation site for children''s books. It recommends Edward and the Christmas Grumps as an annual festive read, commenting, "On the surface it appears to be a typical Christmas story but in fact it is much deeper. The descriptions are wonderfully vivid and, in some cases, quite amusing. The true meaning of the story isn''t revealed until the last chapter, when all the seemingly unrelated storylines and characters come together in a wonderfully warm and magical ending. A true Christmas story."
In 2021, esteemed Kirkus Reviews commended the story as, "A charming, magical tale about preserving the holiday spirit."
