Story
Sam's Aunt Eva says he's like a tornado; he causes a ruckus everywhere he goes. But Aunt Eva won't give up on Sam, and neither will Saucer, the monastery's corgi puppy. Saucer lives at the monastery, but he dreams of herding sheep. With no sheep in his life, Saucer tries to herd everyone else; farm animals, nuns, and especially Sam. Sam doesn't want to follow anyone, not even a funny puppy. But Saucer knows that if he just keeps trying, he can bring this lonely boy back to the flock.

Story
"Marley was dead to begin with...." These chillingly familiar words begin the classic Christmas tale of remorse and redemption in A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens. Now R. William Bennett rewinds the story and focuses the spotlight on Scrooge’s miserly business partner, Jacob T. Marley, who was allowed to return as a ghost to warn Scrooge away from his ill-fated path. Why was Marley allowed to return? And why hadn’t he been given the same chance as Ebenezer Scrooge? Or had he?

I Save My Five Stars for Books like This!

Fantastic companion to the Carol
Reviewed: 12-14-17
I read A Christmas Carol every year. Sometimes more than once. It is my favorite short story/novella, and when I saw this title, I was sceptical. But listening to the sample and hearing Simon Vance's narration made me decide to give it a chance. I'm so glad that I did.
This is a lovely, sentimental tale told around the events of Dickens without being ham fisted or derivative. Jacob Marley is a character in his own right and there's no sympathy for Scrooge until Jacob decides to be moved with compassion. We are taken from the skeleton of the Carol and brought into a fully realized fantasy with real, authentic characters.
I won't spoil the ending, but will say that this story earned its ending. A fine tribute to Dickens, a faithful treatment of the source material, a plausible sequel/companion, and a solid performance by Vance.
