The Haunting of Jeremiah Scrooge / The Haunting of Ebenezer Scrooge - Christmas Caroling Edition

"Father is so much kinder than he used to be, that home's like Heaven!" - Little Fan,, Ebenezer's Sister



-A single, solitary line from the Dickens' classic directed to a solitary, neglected boy, would inspire a new telling. Was there more to this line, thrown away by Dickens himself? Could it be a thread that when tugged upon would unfurl an entirely new Dickensian tapestry?



Charles Dickens endeavoured in his Ghostly little book to raise the Ghost of an Idea, and his ghost haunted Robert Dwight Brown in the quiet, snow-ladened Christmas season, with another Ghost of an Idea, namely the ghost of Ebenezer's father, Jeremiah Scrooge.



There was no doubt in Mr. Brown's mind that the three Spirits of Christmases Past, Present, and Yet To Come had once haunted Jeremiah Scrooge with phantasmical journeys through his past, his present, and his future. Jeremiah would encounter, in his own ghostly, ghastly future, a squeezing, wrenching, grasping, scraping, clutching, covetous old sinner: his very own son, Ebenezer.



Witness with your own eyes how Jeremiah's own ghostly excursion towards reclamation affects upon his son similar ghostly travels. Charles Dickens, the man who invented modern Christmas, immortalized this latter story of ghostly travels in 1843. Now, over 180 years later, another author and composer picks up the mantle to finish the composition of a complete Christmas Carol.



Only in this Christmas Caroling Edition will you find two intrinsically interwoven novellas, The Haunting of Jeremiah Scrooge and The Haunting of Ebenezer Scrooge, along with thirty original and classic Christmas carol sheet music, perfect for a winter season caroling double-feature!
