Charles Dickens popularized the notion of Christmas spirits with the publication in 1843 of his novella entitled “A Christmas Carol,” one of the most beloved of all Christmas tales. Now, in 2009, Carolynn Carey is pleased that her novella featuring a ghost is included in an anthology composed of five stories set in England in the early 1800s. Each story revolves around the Christmas season and features a ghost or spirit that changes the lives of the characters.
In Carolynn's story, entitled “A Spirit of Christmas Forgiveness,” a freak snowstorm and a mysterious lady in red combine to lure Anna Marshall away from her home and into an encounter with the notorious Earl of Ashington. Marooned on his country estate, the two discover a mutual attraction that both realize can lead nowhere. After all, he prefers life in London while she has reason to avoid the city and her aristocratic relatives who reside there. But Christmas is approaching and with help from the lady in red, the couple eventually find that by accepting love and forgiveness, they can possess the peace and joy that the season promises.
