Charles Dickens' Havanese sheds light on the writing of A Christmas Carol in this Dog Diaries Special Edition!Like the Spirit of Christmas Past, Timber - aka Tiny Tim - journeys from Victorian England to the present to reveal what life was life for the man who "invented" Christmas!

And whether at Dickens' feet while he acted out his stories before writing them down, or entertaining Dickens' vast litter of ten children before a blazing Yule log, Tiny Tim's tale is as lively as a holiday jig!Featuring an embossed and gold foil-trimmed cover, plus 16 pages of Dickens-inspired crafts and recipes, this Dog Diaries Special Edition makes the perfect Christmas gift or stocking stuffer.
