It has it all: a spooky ghost story, a heartwarming redemption and a great plot with a satisfyingly happy ending--The Times

A story which, perhaps more than any other, sums up the spirit of the British Christmas--Sunday Telegraph

One of the great achievements of British culture--D.J. Taylor

But that story endures and retains the power to move us because it speaks to the human heart, and gives us hope when hope is fading--Tony Parsons, Mirror

A little masterpiece...irresistible--Sunday Express

After 150 years still have the power to fascinate readers--Contemporary Review

Beautifully written and this re-designed cover is stunning--Devon Life
