One of Bradbury's favourite works is Dickens' A CHRISTMAS CAROL. The original manuscript recently went on display in New York. The NY Times hosts this magnificent online version, which lets you compare Dickens' handwritten MS with the published text:

And the new A Christmas Carol film is marvellous! Best since the '51 Alastair Sim version.

Another year goes by, and I am prompted to post this:

Ray's friend, the British writer Brian Sibley, has just blogged about A CHRISTMAS CAROL. (Brian once wrote a book about it.) Included in his blog post is a recording of Brian's own radio programme about the story from the 1993. Read, listen and enjoy:
