With all due respect to Boz, Mr. Dickens simply did not know all the facts about
what was going on over that Christmas.

Here is the story of what was happening to little Bob
while Scrooge was being visited by ghosts.

This novel actually was selected for publication by
Winnipeg's Turnstone Press in 2022,
however, for various reasons,
the company were not able to proceed with the project.

Re-imagined for the stage in 2021,
BarnDoor Productions mounted it as a
reader's theatre show to great acclaim.
Here are a few pictures.

Called "a page turner!" by one beta-reader,
it's a rollicking trip deep into the underworld
of Dickens's London --
deeper than even Dickens dared to go!
