I'm always a sucker for anything Dickens, especially when it's related to A Christmas Carol (I'll eventually write a blog about my obsession). When I saw that Jon Clinch (author of Finn) had written the backstory of Jacob Marley, I had to ask Santa to bring it!
If you've ever wondered what made Jacob Marley find himself surrounded in chains or why Scrooge found himself in need of redemption, this is a book for you.
