I absolutely loved this Christmas novel based on Charles Dickens' time of writing the Christmas Carol. I KNOW it is only July but with the way things are now I couldn't agree with Gooch from Mame more that "we need a little Christmas, right this very minute." This beautiful book allowed me to escape to another gentler time and place and slip into Dickens' world. Just a really lovely story! Highly recommend this one.

Just finished reading Mr. Dickens Carol. It was a little slow to get rolling but turned out to be worth it in the end. The setting reminded me of a Horatio Alger novel especially with the walks about London and the orphans on the street and in the workhouses.

It is a fictional perspective (not all facts are true), written by a true Dickens' fan, speculating the background behind the classic, "A Christmas Carol." If you are a fan of Dickens, you would enjoy this charming read.

I thought this was wonderful Christmas reading! Just what I needed to get me in the Christmas spirit. It is a magical, heart warming tale. A bit of fact mixed with fiction. A real keeper!
