my kids especially enjoyed this book! This is a whimsical tail (get it?) of faith and friendship, loyalty, and listening for God's call in your life.

Fantastic companion to the Carol

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.
