So put your best fuzzy Santa socks, curl up on the couch and lose yourself in one of these fantastic stories. The Lion, the Witch & the Wardrobe By C.S. Lewis Narnia...the land beyond the wardrobe door, a secret place frozen in eternal winter, a magical country waiting to be set free. Lucy is the first to find the secret of the wardrobe in the professor's mysterious old house. At first her brothers and sister don't believe her when she tells of her visit to the land of Narnia. But soon Edmund, then Peter and Susan step through the wardrobe themselves. In Narnia they find a country buried under the evil enchantment of the White Witch. When they meet the Lion Aslan, they realize they've been called to a great adventure and bravely join the battle to free Narnia from the Witch's sinister spell. The Book Thief By Markus Zusak It is 1939. Nazi Germany. The country is holding its breath. Death has never been busier, and will be busier still. By her brother's graveside, Liesel's life is changed when she picks up a single object, partially hidden in the snow. It is The Gravedigger's Handbook, left behind there by accident, and it is her first act of book thievery. So begins a love affair with books and words, as Liesel, with the help of her accordion-playing foster father, learns to read. Soon she is stealing books from Nazi book-burnings, the mayor's wife's library, wherever there are books to be found. But these are dangerous times. When Liesel's foster family hides a Jew in their basement, Liesel's world is both opened up, and closed down. Little Women By Louisa May Alcott Generations of readers young and old, male and female, have fallen in love with the March sisters of Louisa May Alcott’s most popular and enduring novel, Little Women. Here are talented tomboy and author- to-be Jo, tragically frail Beth, beautiful Meg, and romantic, spoiled Amy, united in their devotion to each other and their struggles to survive in New England during the Civil War. It is no secret that Alcott based Little Women on her own early life. Little Women brought her lasting fame and fortune, and far from being the "girl’s book” her publisher requested, it explores such timeless themes as love and death, war and peace, the conflict between personal ambition and family responsibilities, and the clash of cultures between Europe and America. A Christmas Carol By Charles Dickens 'If I had my way, every idiot who goes around with Merry Christmas on his lips, would be boiled with his own pudding, and buried with a stake of holly through his heart. Merry Christmas? Bah humbug!' To bitter, miserly Ebenezer Scrooge, Christmas is just another day. On Christmas Eve, Scrooge is visited by a series of ghosts, starting with his old business partner, Jacob Marley. The three spirits which follow, the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Christmas Present and Christmas Yet to Come, show Scrooge how his mean behaviour has affected those around him. At the end of the story he is relieved to discover that there is still time for him to change and we see him transformed into a generous and kind-hearted human being. Wuthering Heights By Emily Bronte The wind is strong on the Yorkshire moors. There are few trees, and fewer houses, to block its path. There is one house, however, that does not hide from the wind. It stands out from the hill and challenges the wind to do its worst. The house is called Wuthering Heights. When Mr Earnshaw brings a strange, small, dark child back home to Wuthering Heights, it seems he has opened his doors to trouble. He has invited in something that, like the wind, is safer kept out of the house. The Hobbit By J.R.R. Tolkien In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit. Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole, filled with the ends of worms and an oozy smell, nor yet a dry, bare, sandy hole with nothing in it to sit down on or to eat: it was a hobbit-hole, and that means comfort. Written for J.R.R. Tolkien’s own children, The Hobbit met with instant critical acclaim when it was first published in 1937. Now recognized as a timeless classic, this introduction to the hobbit Bilbo Baggins, the wizard Gandalf, Gollum, and the spectacular world of Middle-earth recounts of the adventures of a reluctant hero, a powerful and dangerous ring, and the cruel dragon Smaug the Magnificent. Harry Potter & the Philosopher’s Stone By J.K. Rowling Harry Potter's life is miserable. His parents are dead and he's stuck with his heartless relatives, who force him to live in a tiny closet under the stairs. But his fortune changes when he receives a letter that tells him the truth about himself: he's a wizard. After a lifetime of bottling up his magical powers, Harry finally feels like a normal kid. But even within the Wizarding community, he is special. He is the boy who lived: the only person to have ever survived a killing curse inflicted by the evil Lord Voldemort. Though Harry's first year at Hogwarts is the best of his life, not everything is perfect. There is a dangerous secret object hidden within the castle walls, and Harry believes it's his responsibility to prevent it from falling into evil hands. But doing so will bring him into contact with forces more terrifying than he ever could have imagined. To Kill a Mockingbird By Harper Lee 'Shoot all the Bluejays you want, if you can hit 'em, but remember it's a sin to kill a Mockingbird.' A lawyer's advice to his children as he defends the real mockingbird of Harper Lee's classic novel - a black man charged with the rape of a white girl. Through the young eyes of Scout and Jem Finch, Harper Lee explores with exuberant humour the irrationality of adult attitudes to race and class in the Deep South of the thirties. The conscience of a town steeped in prejudice, violence and hypocrisy is pricked by the stamina of one man's struggle for justice. But the weight of history will only tolerate so much. To Kill a Mockingbird is a coming-of-age story, an anti- racist novel, a historical drama of the Great Depression and a sublime example of the Southern writing tradition. Pride and Prejudice By Jane Austen Since its immediate success in 1813, Pride and Prejudice has remained one of the most popular novels in the English language. Jane Austen called this brilliant work "her own darling child" and its vivacious heroine, Elizabeth Bennet, "as delightful a creature as ever appeared in print." The romantic clash between the opinionated Elizabeth and her proud beau, Mr. Darcy, is a splendid performance of civilized sparring. And Jane Austen's radiant wit sparkles as her characters dance a delicate quadrille of flirtation and intrigue, making this book the most superb comedy of manners of Regency England. Gone With the Wind By Margaret Mitchell Tomorrow is another day... Set against the dramatic backdrop of the American Civil War, Margaret Mitchell's magnificent historical epic is an unforgettable tale of love and loss, of a nation mortally divided and a people forever changed. Above all, it is the story of beautiful, ruthless Scarlett O'Hara and the dashing soldier of fortune, Rhett Butler. The Hundred and One Dalmatians By Dodie Smith ‘Wouldn’t they make enchanting fur coats?’ simpers the devious Cruella de Vil – one of children’s literature’s most diabolical villains – upon meeting Pongo and Missus, beloved Dalmatians of Mr and Mrs Dearly. But when the Dalmatians’ pups are stolen from their London home and held hostage at Hell Hall, Cruella’s stately country house, the dogs of Britain unite to help their parents cross England to rescue them in time for Christmas. .

PROTECTING CHARACTERS THROUGH COPYRIGHT LAW: PAVING A NEW ROAD UPON WHICH LITERARY, GRAPHIC, AND MOTION PICTURE CHARACTERS CAN ALL TRAVEL* Dean D. Niro** INTRODUCTION Most everyone would recognize Bugs Bunny, Charlie Brown, Ebenezer Scrooge, and James Bond. These characters appear in a variety of mediums, including cartoons, comic strips, novels, and motion pictures. Today, in the age of sequels and retail advertising, characters have become an important com- mercial commodity. Characters, thus, need legal protection. The federal copy- right statute may provide this protection. The federal copyright statute provides an author protection in his "original work of authorship fixed in a tangible medium of expression., 1 Thus, a fic- tional character is protected by the copyright of the work in which the charac- ter originally appears.2 Sometimes, however, a character can be removed from the original work in which it appeared, then resurface in another completely unrelated work.

  • Jacob Marley Was Dead
    Jacob marley was dead Continue I personally love the Book of Christmas Song and I read it every December. It's not a long book, which is probably why it's a favorite classic of an overworked high school student, and this librarian with a read list a mile long. I'm also a big fan of Christmas, and Christmas special, and books about Christmas. I admit that I've never been a big fan of Dickens's more works. In high school we read Great Expectations and I remember very little, except that it was particularly hard to follow, which kind of turned me away from everything he had written for a while. But a few years ago I decided to give a Christmas carol a chance and it became one of my favorite books. The language That Dickens used is unlike anything we use in everyday communication in 2014. Never has Tiny Tim ever lol, and none of the ghosts will ever smh Scrooge and his ignorance. Honestly, I can see how difficult it can be for some to sit down and read page after page of the lengthy descriptions Of the Dickens used-after-all, we want to get to the meat of ghost stories and a grumpy old man learning to appreciate kindness and friendship for money, but when we don't have the time to read what Dickens has written he draws some amazing images in our heads. Take the opening lines: Marley was dead: for starters. As for the first lines in the book to go, that one is damn good.

  • The Man Who Invented Christmas Film Adaptations of Dickens’ a Christmas Carol Dr Christine Corton
    10TH DECEMBER 2019 The Man Who Invented Christmas Film Adaptations of Dickens’ A Christmas Carol Dr Christine Corton A Christmas Carol is now over 175 years old. Written in 1843, it is certainly the most televised of Dickens’s works and equals if not beats, its closest rival, Oliver Twist (1837-39) for cinema releases. It’s had a huge influence on the way we understand the Christmas festival. It was written at a time when the festival was being revived after centuries of neglect. And its impact was almost immediate. A Christmas Carol quickly achieved iconic status, far more so than any of Dickens’s other Christmas stories. You have to have been living on some far-off planet not to have heard of the story – the word ‘Scrooge’ has come to represent miserliness and ‘Bah, Humbug’ is a phrase often resorted to when indicating someone is a curmudgeon. Even, Field Marshall Montgomery concluded his Christmas Eve message to the Eighth Army on the battlefield with Tiny Tim’s blessing. In 1836 Dickens described Christmas at Dingley Dell in The Pickwick Papers in which of course one of the most famous of the interpolated tales appears, The Story of the Goblins who Stole a Sexton and for those who know the tale, the miserable and mean Gabriel Grub is not a million miles away from Scrooge. Both Mr Pickwick’s Christmas at Wardle’s (1901) and Gabriel Grub: The Surly Sexton (1904) were used as the basis for silent films at around the same time as the first silent version of the 11 minute long: Scrooge: Or Marley’s Ghost which was released in 1901.

  • By Charles Dickens, Adapted by Romulus Linney a Christmas Carol
    By Charles Dickens, Adapted by Romulus Linney A Christmas Carol is a novella by Charles Dickens, first published in London in 1843. The novella met with instant success and critical acclaim. A Christmas Carol tells the story of a bitter old miser named Ebenezer Scrooge and his transformation into a gentler, kindlier man after visitations by the ghost of his former business partner Jacob Marley and the Ghosts of Christmases Past, Present and Yet to Come. The book was written at a time when the British were examining and exploring Christmas traditions from the past as well as new customs such as Christmas cards and Christmas trees. Carol singing took a new lease on life during this time. Dickens' sources for the tale appear to be many and varied, but are, principally, the humiliating experiences of his childhood, his sympathy for the poor, and various Christmas stories and fairy tales. Dickens' A Christmas Carol was one of the greatest influences in rejuvenating the old Christmas traditions of England, but, while it brings to the reader images of light, joy, warmth and life, it also brings strong and unforgettable images of darkness, despair, coldness, sadness, and death. Scrooge himself is the embodiment of winter, and, just as winter is followed by spring and the renewal of life, so too is Scrooge's cold, pinched heart restored to the innocent goodwill he had known in his childhood and youth. A Christmas Carol remains popular—having never been out of print—and has been adapted many times to film, stage, opera, and other media.

Guildhall Museum Rochester @Guildhallmuseum Ebenezer Scrooge from the novella A Christmas Carol (published 1843) Oh! But he was a tight-fisted hand at the grind-stone, Scrooge! a squeezing, wrenching, grasping, scraping, clutching, covetous, old sinner! Hard and sharp as flint, from which no steel had ever struck out generous fire; secret, and self-contained, and solitary as an oyster. From the moment it was published, A Christmas Michael Horden, Albert Finney, not to mention Carol was a hit with audiences, and has been Syd James (Carry On Christmas Specials), Michael ever since. Little wonder: Dickens’ brilliance as a Caine (The Muppet Christmas Carol), Rowan storyteller is nowhere more obvious.
