Welcome to Inverblaggard—where the goats are judgmental, the scones are strategic, and Christmas refuses to behave.

Fergus MacFaddle was never meant to be the spirit of the season. Gruff, stubborn, and allergic to joy, he’s spent decades enforcing laws against smiling near livestock and renaming holidays out of spite. But when an old flame returns, a goat gains political power, and a small bonnet sparks village-wide chaos, even the Grump of Christmas must reconsider what it means to belong.

From accidental festivals to caroling disasters, The Grump of Christmas is a heartwarming Highland comedy about love, legacy, and the kind of miracles only a determined community (and one very expressive goat) can deliver.

Packed with wit, warmth, and wool, this festive tale proves that even the coldest hearts can thaw—with enough tea, tartan, and second chances.

A twisty tale with wickedly delightful humour and hilarious characters. I lost count of the number of times I laughed out loud! Phil Deadman totally nailed the narration.

A review copy of this book was sent to me by the narrator. All of the above opinions are my own.

Hilarious characters.
