This was a fun little tale of Dickens and his book. It’s a novel where the author imagines the details behind the creation of the book, so literary license abounds. But it’s used to good effect as we become friends with Mr. Dickens, see his plight, root for him to write the beloved story, and see it come to fruition. There is humor and wonder included, making it a fun Christmas read.
