A great book for Christmas from the new Poet Laureate; a contemporary tale in the style of her poems in The World's Wife, about Mrs Scrooge: she hates waste and consumerism in all its forms but she is not simply a miser.
She is worried about the state of the planet.
She protests, recycles, forages, buys secondhand, mends, eats leftovers and switches off lights.
One night at midnight, a cheerful ghost takes her by the hand.
Published in a small format gift hardback, with illustrations provided .
