This simplified version of the classic is a straightforward piece
of work, sticking to the grand elements of the storyline: The
miserly Scrooge gets his Christmas Eve comeuppance from Marley and
the three ghosts, sees the folly of his parsimonious ways, and
becomes a changed man. Great hunks of the original have been left
on the cutting room floor, naturally enough, but what is left feels
too much like a pastiche: scenic views without the travel in
between. Heyer's crisp acrylics are accomplished and often
stunning, though there are odd moments when the artwork isn't in
step with the text (why aren't Marley's glasses up on his ghostly
forehead?) and other times when it simply fails to convey the
story's spirit, such as the dance scene with the Ghost of Christmas
Past. This retelling will be most successful if it spurs readers on
to the original. (Kirkus Reviews)
