Who is Jacob Marley? I put his character as the main topic in my
book to one specific question which is... Who is Jacob Marley,
business partner to Ebenezer Scrooge in "A Christmas Carol in
Prose, Being a Ghost-Story of Christmas", commonly known as "A
Christmas Carol", a short story written by Charles Dickens and
first published in London by Chapman & Hall on 19 December
1843. As a child into adulthood, I often had read and viewed
several movies and television adaptations of Ebenezer Scrooge's
life at Christmas time. Each and every version put to print or in
the media fields explains the creator's own interpretation of how a
stingy and odious business man living in the early 19th Century
London was haunted by first his ghostly partner Jacob Marley and
then by three Apparitions of Christmas to show and mend the errors
of his greedy ways.

Working class"" resides a small principality called the Duchy of
Miser which is mercilessly ruled by a greedy and highly despicable
duke, Herzog Otto the Ruthless. The evil duke has sinisterly
decided to proclaim a ducal law that all his loyal subjects would
work seven days a week from sun-up to sun down even on the Sabbath
day and rid his duchy of all non-productive religious practices. On
one fine autumn morning there once lived an old wood gatherer named
Hans Holtzmann in the forest countryside near the small hamlet of
Vertvoll. Hans awoke from his peaceful night's slumber so to start
off his day by fetching the kindling wood and sell it to the bakers
when he suddenly noticed that he was walking backwards... This
spiritually-based fairy tale depicts all the mystical styles that
even the Grimm Brother's could have ever dreamt up in their time...
