The Twelve Days of Christmas [Correspondence], also called Twelve Days of Christmas, A Correspondence, is a 1998 monologue book by John Julius Cooper, 2nd Viscount Norwich, and illustrated by Quentin Blake.

[2] The monologue is performed by the reading out of letters written by Emily Wilbraham to her lover Edward.

The gifts eventually cause a breakdown in their relationship, with Emily's house and gardens being ruined by all the birds, animals, and personnel that Edward sends.

[3] For the final letter, after Edward has sent members of the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic to her,[2] Emily's solicitor G. Creep writes to inform Edward that Emily is seeking an injunction against him for harassment and would be seeking to return all the animals that were sent.

[6] They also considered that it was a way of dropping hints about the consequences of poorly idealised Christmas presents.
