Sharpe's Christmas contains two short stories, Sharpe's Christmas and Sharpe's Ransom, written by historical fiction author Bernard Cornwell. They feature Cornwell's fictional hero Richard Sharpe. Originally, the first short-story, Sharpe's Christmas, was written for British newspaper The Daily Mail which serialised it during the Christmas season of 1995. Later, in an effort to raise funds for The Bernard and Judy Cornwell Foundation, an extended version was published by The Sharpe Appreciation Society in 2003 to add Sharpe's Ransom into a collection of the two short stories simply titled Sharpe's Christmas.[1]
