Young Ebenezer
A New Christmas Carol
This story is a seasonal treat, a modern, lyrical re-telling of the Charles Dickens classic - 'A Christmas Carol.'
The book is specially designed for families to share during the Holiday Season, or for young competent readers to try for themselves. This is a beautiful hardcover to treasure, with full colour images on every page.
Eb is a spoilt child who really is not one for caring, and he certainly hates sharing. He is watched over by a very special guardian - the family's ancient longcase clock, who is bestowed with magic. His name is Grandfather Time.
On Christmas Eve Grandfather Time decides he must teach the boy a lesson. So he calls upon his friends; the Ghosts of Past, Present and Future and with lessons to learn he brings forth the first tutor - a little golden-red King Charles spaniel, called Miss Ruby Heart.
Will this unlikely pair be able to teach the boy the error of his ways? Or will he be doomed to be a scruffy, lonely teenager stuck forever in his own little world?
