This fascinating program takes a close-up look at the literary genius of Charles Dickens, England's most celebrated Victorian novelist, and explores the hidden history behind the author's 1843 Christmas classic.What events inspired the Carol to be written? Who was it written for? Hod did Dickens' historical novel "single-handedly resurrect" Christmas at a time when factories were open and churches were closed on December 25th? By 1900, no other book in the world had sold more copies except the Bible.
Rochelle Pennington's narrative will offer a factual perspective and behind-the-scenes insights into the epic influence of Dickens' immortal characters: Ebeneezer Scrooge, Jacob Marley, and a trio of Christmas ghosts.
This program is dedicated in loving memory of Al and Harriet Long, who were committed to promoting the value and services of the Neenah Public Library and the community of the City of Neenah.
