"a squeezing, wrenching, grasping, scraping, clutching, covetous, old sinner! Hard and sharp as flint,... secret, and self-contained, and solitary as an oyster."

I love this happy illustration by Norman Rockwell of a Victorian couple dancing. It was painted for the December cover of The Saturday Evening Post in 1928. It reminds me of Mr. Fezziwig from Dickens' A Christmas Carol.

My version of A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens.  
I’ve just listened to a very good episode of In Our Time with Melvyn Bragg on Radio 4. Melvyn and the panel discuss A Christmas Carol and the history of Dickens’ writing it.

Scrooge: “You may be an undigested bit of beef, a blot of mustard, a crumb of cheese, a fragment of an underdone potato. There’s more of gravy than of grave about you, whatever you are!”

Dickens gioca con i sensi,il profumo del dolce sulla tavola,la consapevolezza degli odori,con il recupero dei ricordi.Niente è più evocativo degli odori,e finalmente il trascorrere del tempo trova un senso.

Dickens likely took inspiration for the chained spectre of Marley from Pliny The Younger's letters. Along with 'the Spirit of Africa' inspiring the other Spirits.
Researching A Christmas Carol for Early Haunts & delving into the story's origins was a treat.
