The Dickens story disected and rewritten as a masterpiece of comical violence, innuendo and good old fashioned British Pantomime.
Welcome friends, nomads and infantrymen to the world of Dickens. You've walked the streets of London with spirits and witnessed the miraculous change of heart of
one Ebenezer Scrooge...but every story has a back side where things are seen from a different angle.
This is A Christmas Carol like none before it and none that dare to follow in its wake. Follow Scrooge on the longest journey of his life with a trio of aptly named Spirits, and discover the brutal ways of the past, present and future ghosts. Why can Scrooge no longer use his favourite catchphrase? Who are the suspicious charity workers? How does Scrooge end up with jelly down his trousers? Who ate all the pies? How many jokes about fiddling with knockers can one book get away with?
All the answers and more can be found here, in the most bizarre retelling of a classic tale for more than a decade.
A Christmas Carol Retold by Anthony Lund will make you laugh, cry, giggle like a girl and in extreme cases may cause incontinence. Mr Dickens is spinning like a hurricane as we speak.
