Description

Before the infamous tale of Ebenezer Scrooge, there was Miss Marley, a seasonal story of kindness and goodwill. Orphaned Clara and her brother Jacob live by their wits, scavenging for scraps in the poorest alleyways of London, in the shadow of the workhouse. Despite the hardships, Jake promises his little sister 'tomorrow will be better' and when the chance to escape poverty comes their way, he seizes it, setting him on a path that leads to his infamous partnership with Ebenezer Scrooge.

As Jacob builds a fortress of wealth to keep the world out, only Clara can warn him of the hideous fate that awaits him if he refuses to let love and kindness into his heart. Vanessa Lafaye weaves a spellbinding tale of ghosts, goodwill and hope, a perfect prequel to A Christmas Carol.
