An enjoyable little book containing two short stories with a common Christmas theme. They are very quick reads. I would only recommend this book for those already familiar with the Sharpe series. Once again, Cornwell's action scenes are succinct but he only lightly explores the ambiguity of Sharpe's actions. Well worth reading (for Sharpe fans).
This one is not as good as many others withing the series. However the entire series is excellent. Reading them in order makes them much better.
