Literary Scrooge or a Tiny Tim?

A literary Christmas quiz from The Guardian UK.

Sample question:

High noon behind the tamarisks - the sun is hot above us -
As at Home the Christmas Day is breaking wan.
They will drink our healths at dinner - those who tell us how they love us,
And forget us till another year be gone!

Rudyard Kipling
Walt Whitman
EM Forster
Jim Corbett

My score was 10 out of 15.
