Description

Ben doesn't care about Christmas and shuns the present little Tim offers him. But on Christmas Eve, Ben cannot sleep. A stranger appears and takes him on a night-time quest to find three people who agree that a candied plum is the best thing in the world. Through this journey, Ben learns the value of friendship and the true meaning of Christmas. By morning, he invites Tim to celebrate Christmas with him, reminiscent of the transformation of Scrooge in Dickens' classic tale. The story, complemented by atmospheric illustrations, makes this a delightful Christmas gift book.
