A Sample of the Story:
Part 1. On Christmas Eve
On a cold winters day
in a far away land
was a greedy and grumpy
and sour old man.
Scrooge was his name,
for his heart was too small.
And gold was the one thing
he loved most of all.
His office was bleary
and dreary and cold.
He kept only one candle
and one lump of coal.
He paid only one workman
to do every job,
a kind and warm hearted
young fellow named Bob.

It's so sad!
Really great
I read this to my boys over two nights (20 minutes each night)
It reads in rhyme (I don't know if the original was also) sort of like Dr Seuss
It was a pleasure to read
It wasn't too scarry--you know the ghosts and all--for my 3 and 7 year old boys (who had nightmares on the introductory chapter of Harry Potter, so we had to quit reading it)
I'll buy other books by John Marr
