His newest book is an utter flop, the critics have turned against him, relatives near and far hound him for money. While his wife plans a lavish holiday party for their ever-expanding family and circle of friends, Dickens has visions of the poor house. But when his publishers try to blackmail him into writing a Christmas book to save them all from financial ruin, he refuses. And a serious bout of writer's block sets in. Frazzled and filled with self-doubt, Dickens seeks solace in his great palace of thinking, the city of London itself. On one of his long night walks, in a once-beloved square, he meets the mysterious Eleanor Lovejoy, who might be just the muse he needs. As Dickens' deadlines close in, Eleanor propels him on a Scrooge-like journey that tests everything he believes about generosity, friendship, ambition, and love. The story he writes will change Christmas forever. 600 10 $a Dickens, Charles, $d 1812-1870 $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Authorship $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Friendship $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Christmas stories. 650 6 $a Art d'eÌcrire $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. 650 6 $a AmitieÌ $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. 650 6 $a Histoires de NoeÌl. 650 7 $a Christmas stories. $2 aat 600 17 $a Dickens, Charles, $d 1812-1870. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00028294 650 7 $a Christmas stories. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00859866 650 7 $a Authorship. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00822442 650 7 $a Friendship. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00935174 655 7 $a Biographical fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726537 655 7 $a Christmas fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01981983 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726640 655 7 $a Christmas fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Biographical fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 lcgft 941 $a 1 $n 1 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20230815084724.0 $n 9 $p + BOCD 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=9084EDCA3B6B11EEAE0F5EB6403FDB2A 994 $a C0 $b IOZInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
