X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p>A beloved\, irresistible novel that reimag
 ines the story behind Charles Dickens' Christmas classic</p>\n<p>Charles D
 ickens is not feeling the Christmas spirit. His newest book is an utter fl
 op\, the critics have turned against him\, relatives near and far hound hi
 m for money. While his wife plans a lavish holiday party for their ever-ex
 panding family and circle of friends\, Dickens has visions of the poor hou
 se. 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&rsquo\;s block sets in.</p>\n<p>Frazzled and filled with self-d
 oubt\, 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 n
 eeds. As Dickens&rsquo\; deadlines close in\, Eleanor propels him on a Scr
 ooge-like journey that tests everything he believes about generosity\, fri
 endship\, ambition\, and love. The story he writes will change Christmas f
 orever.</p>\n<p>Contact lisa@effinghamlibrary.org with questions.</p>\nhtt
