Book Description
...As Charles Dickens strode through the dirt and depravity of St. Giles at night, ostensibly formulating his latest best-seller in his head, he could not have failed to witness prostitution at its most sickening.

At the front of St. Bride's,conversely,the gravestones were serried and well-kept, amid trimmed lawns and neat box hedges - permanent markers to the endless passing of the great and the good. The back-side was a disgrace, reflected Billy, unless, of course, you were a rat or a rat-catcher.For also at the rear, out of sight and mind of respectable Londoners, were the pauper's graves. Paupers were interred on Wednesdays - usually without coffins. The bodies were simply thrown into a burial pit, lightly covered with soil, and then boarded over until the following Wednesday. This perfunctory process was repeated, week upon week, until the pit was full and a new one had to be dug.

Book Description
This Christmas novel, set in London in 1843, tells the story of an orphan named Alfy Wickfield, who meets and is befriended by England’s most famous writer, Charles Dickens. Over the course of a few unforgettable weeks, the two unlikely friends, each guarding secrets about the past, set out on a creative journey through the dark streets of the great city that will culminate in the author’s best-loved and most enduring story, A Christmas Carol. As Dickens breathes life into his characters – Ebenezer Scrooge, Bob Cratchit, Tiny Tim and the Spirits of Christmas – and pours his heart into a ghost story that will cement his reputation of all time, his young companion learns the meaning of sacrifice, the price of loyalty and the power of forgiveness.
