Book Cover & Preview Text
The smile on Ebenezer Scrooge’s face was no life. It was as wide as a church door. Gone forever was the stern coldhearted frown that frightened small children and discouraged well-mannered adults from polite conversation. This Christmas night, his smiling countenance radiated an inner amiability and warmth. Ebenezer’s outward physical appearance also seemed changed. His face was still crowned with soft gray hair but as the final notes of polka music faded, his last dance steps had noticeably youthful spring to them.

And how did he become “as good a friend, as good a master, and as good a man, as the good old city knew.” Tiny Tim lived but how did he overcome his lameness and what of his future relationship with Scrooge? Did Scrooge form a new and lasting relationship with his nephew Fred? And, did Scrooge ever encounter the beautiful Belle, the young and only love of his life? Finally, the moral obligation that Scrooge owed to Jacob Marley for his intervention that saved Scrooge from his fate is finally explored.
