In this sequel to the universally loved and well-known book A Christmas Carol, Marvin Kaye's "THE LAST CHRISTMAS OF EBENEZER SCROOGE," depicts a kindlier Scrooge struggling to right the unresolved wrong hidden within Dickens's story. This sequel is both intriguing and unusual in its treatment of the Jewish angle that throws a sidelight onto early 19th century society.
