J.S. Burke's Reviews > Young Ebenezer: A New Christmas Carol

“Young Ebenezer” by Rose English is a modern re-telling of "A Christmas Carol", with a young, spoiled boy as the main character. I love this lyrical story, told as a poem, with its timeless message of sharing and caring. The writing is vivid: “This black hooded figure, filled up the whole room, and the temperature dropped, to that of a tomb.” There’s an illustration on each page opposite a poetry/story page. I bought the paperback for my collection because it’s such a beautiful book.
