"A Chritmas Carol", by Charles Dickens, is not only a classic, but one of the best loved stories ever written. When introducing the story to his public, this is what Dickens had to say: "I have endeavoured in this Ghostly little book, to raise the Ghost of an Idea, which shall not put my readers out of humour with themselves, with each other, with the season, or with me. May it haunt their houses pleasantly, and no one wish to lay it." - Charles Dickens, December, 1843. This little render is my vision of Dickens "Ghost of Christmas Present", a character in the story "A Christmas Carol". Thank you Charles Dickens for writing such an inspiring and heart-warming story that renews our faith in men. To echo Tiny Tim, "God bless us, every one!" Created in Poser, post work in Photoshop CS2.
