This short story is a continuation of Dickens' A Christmas Carol. Tiny Tim has grown up and works with his father at Scrooge and Marley and Cratchit. But as Christmas approaches, his mentor and friend, Ebenezer Scrooge passes away, leaving Tim depressed. He also has a failed romance in his past: Becky was from a rich family who forced her to marry someone else with better prospects.
Written in a true Dickensian manner, this is an enjoyable read. It has all the elements of the original with Scrooge standing in for the ghosts. The author adds in some nice illustrations and Christmas carols. I'd recommend this short Christmas read.… (meer)
