Fireside Book of Christmas Stories par Edward Wagenknecht
I own a copy of this book that belonged to my mother. It has been read so many times it is beginning to fall apart, but I love reading it over and over again, carefully.
Even a small book can pack a big punch.
This is a fairly thin volume, but it includes many extremely important essays in Chaucer criticism. There is a bit of a checklist feeling to the result ("We need one essay on the Pardoner's Tale, one on the Wife's Tale, one on the Knight's Tale..."), which may be a little unbalanced -- but there is obviously a lot to be said for a single book which gives access to the single most influential writing on each of Chaucer's major works.
The material is from the mid-twentieth century and earlier, so some of it is perhaps a little out of date.

Unfortunately my copy was mis-manufactured and is missing several pages.
