This little Christmas book was nestled next to The Mansion at the library, which was what I was looking for... But this one looked intriguing so I checked them both out. It is a sweet little story, based on the real Mrs. Charles Dickens and is set in their time period. Mrs. Dickens admires her husband's exuberance, but is worn out. This little story shares how she got her Christmas spirit back, and it's sweet and focused on the "real" meaning of Christmas. It's fun to read about the Victorian traditions and fun parties, but the spirit of the season is missing. How Mrs. Dickens brings it back, through dreamy memories, is good to read about. I was hoping it might help ME feel more of the Christmas spirit, and it did, even though it's not quite Thanksgiving. I want to start early and feel it longer! I was also hoping it might be a giftable book, but it's not quite at that level. Still, a fun and good little read.
