HTML:<p><b>"[Narrator Euan Morton's] British-accented narration is pure delight...This imaginative story is so charming that listeners will be convinced it is fact, not fiction. A heartwarming addition to the holiday audiobook collection." — <i>Booklist</i></b><br /> <br /> <b>Laced with humor, rich historical detail from Charles Dickens' life, and clever winks to his work, Samantha Silva's <i>Mr. Dickens and His Carol</i> is an irresistible new take on a cherished classic.</b></p> <p>Charles Dickens is <i>not</i> feeling the Christmas spirit. His newest book is an utter flop, the critics have turned against him, relatives near and far hound him for money. While his wife plans a lavish holiday party for their ever-expanding family and circle of friends, Dickens has visions of the poor house. But when his publishers try to blackmail him into writing a Christmas book to save them all from financial ruin, he refuses. And a serious bout of writer's block sets in.</p> <p>Frazzled and filled with self-doubt, Dickens seeks solace in his great palace of thinking, the city of London itself. On one of his long night walks, in a once-beloved square, he meets the mysterious Eleanor Lovejoy, who might be just the muse he needs. As Dickens' deadlines close in, Eleanor propels him on a Scrooge-like journey that tests everything he believes about generosity, friendship, ambition, and love. The story he writes will change Christmas forever.</p> <p><b>Full of holiday cheer and Victorian whimsy, <i>Mr. Dickens and His Carol</i> is the perfect audiobook to instill listeners with the Christmas spirit.</b><br /> <br /> <b>Praise for <i>Mr. Dickens and His Carol:</i></b><br /> <br /> "From his first words to his last, Euan Morton's narration is quintessentially Dickensian. This novel gives Morton the opportunity to voice all the personalities of the original CHRISTMAS CAROL — from revelers to Scrooge, ghosts, and Tiny Tim — and all are satisfying portrayals." <i>— AudioFile Magazine</i><br /> <br /> <i>"</i>A charming, comic, and ultimately poignant story about the creation of the most famous Christmas tale ever written. It's as foggy and haunted and redemptive as the original; it's all heart, and I read it in a couple of ebullient, Christmassy gulps." —Anthony Doerr, #1 <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author of <i>All The Light We Cannot See</i><br /> <br /> "[Silva] tunes herself to Dickens's imaginative frequency...She inhabits Dickens's sensitivity to London's atmosphere, its chancellors and urchins, its cobblestones and fog." —<i>The New York Times Book Review</i><br /></p>.
