Double Down!


"A Christmas Carol" (2015)
Doubleday Books for Young Readers
Text: Adam McKeown
Illustrations: Gerald Kelley

Here's another kid-friendly retelling of "A Christmas Carol" without any piano!

Sample pages:




I find these things to be interesting, mainly for the illustrations.

I can't help but notice that Marley's gravestone shows that he was born in 1781 and died in 1836.

That would mean he was 55 when he passed away and if that was seven years earlier from the setting of the story, the story is taking place in 1843, one year prior to the original publication of the book.

Interesting!
