    About this ebook

    Evergreedy Squeeze is a wealthy banker, out of touch with the age of austerity. At Christmas he receives visitations from three spirits, who attempt to show him the truth of his situation.

    Will he heed their lesson?

    Apologies to Charles Dickens for this affectionate homage to his famous story in his bicentenary year.
