An Illustrated Amish Christmas Carol is a wonderfully crafted story based upon a  Christmas classic. Like Scrooge, Hezekiah lost his humanity and spirituality in the pursuit of worldly gain. His story of revelation and redemption, told in an Amish setting, is creative and unique.Dickens highlighted the dichotomy between rich and poor in Victorian England. Author Ruth Price updates that theme by showing how greed harms animals that have outlived their "usefulness" to their human owners. Like Dickens' poor, abandoned animals are a huge problem in our country that no one wants to acknowledge. Hopefully, Price's Amish Christmas Carol will motivate her readers to become involved in solving this problem.I highly recommend An Illustrated Amish Christmas Carol.
