A Ghost Tale for
Christmas Time
by Mary Pope Osborne (Ages 6 and up)
During another "Merlin Mission,"
Jack and Annie are sent back in time to
Victorian England, where Charles
Dickens is suffering from writer's angst
and has vowed not to pen another
book. After posing as chimney sweeps
in order to gain entry to his house, the
two children use magic to conjure up
the ghosts of Christmas past, present,
and future in order to convince Dickens
of the value of his work and to inspire
him to write A Christmas Carol.
