Book Review of Mr. Dickens and His Carol: A Novel of Christmas Past

Mr. Dickens and His Carol: A Novel of Christmas Past
Kyrana avatar reviewed on + 18 more book reviews


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.
