    A Christmas Carol The Parody

    About this ebook

    A Christmas Carol The Parody is a modern rewrite of Dickens' novella, A Christmas Carol. It is set in the twentieth century. Many of the characters are the same in name and the ghosts are still Christmas past, present and future. Here, however, the similarities end. Now, we have a dysfunctional Cratchit family, bizarre Christmas parties, a gay ghost, a ghost in a tutu and a ghost that is a dog. Journey with Scrooge and the ghosts for a totally new Christmas Carol experience, where the warmth of Dickens meets (a degree of) toilet humour to make this A Christmas Carol like no other.

    Author

    Peter Allchin

    I have been writing for quite a few years - short stories; poetry, and two novels, one of which was published in Australia in paperback in 2007. Owing to unforeseen problems, the book is no longer available. I have also been published in magazines, although my style of writing - usually, but not always, black comedy and horror, is not for women's mainstream magazines. I also write poetry, preferring rhymes rather than free verse. And rhymes, as opposed to 'proper' poetry, is something I love to write, especially simple, silly verses, many of which are suitable for young children. I write because I enjoy creating something out of what might be an acorn of just a few words, or a phrase that came to me, or overheard in a conversation.
