Will Edmund Filliput’s beloved, Isabella, come to breakfast with Edmund and the happy stranger on the day after Christmas? We find out in the gentle conclusion of Ebenezer: A sequel of sorts to A Christmas Carol.
Of course, this podcast series has been partially an attempt to encourage you to purchase your own keepsake copy of the book, now available in electronic, hardcover and softcover formats. But it’s also my Christmas gift to the universe, a sweet little story that I am proud to have been the human funnel for. For the last five weeks I have been reading you a chapter a week. It only has five chapters, so here’s the end, just in time for Christmas, my present to you and yours.
I spent the first half of 2023 in a nightmare and the second half of 2023 in mourning. I am not going to list 2023 among my 70 favorite years (I’m finishing off my 71st).
But 2023 is also the year I completed Ebenezer: A sequel of sorts to A Christmas Carol, and I am grateful to the God of the universe for distracting me from my sorrow to help me concoct a joyful story of redemption to brighten this season of light a little more.
(P.S. Sharp listeners will catch a cameo appearance by Dejah Thoris, Princess of Mars, under the last line of the story.)
