I really enjoy reading Ruth Price's books.  A Christmas Carol is one of my favorite Christmas books and An Illustrated Amish Christmas Carol has been added to the list.  This is a unique Amish tale that follows the premise of the original story but the author has integrated her own story line within.  Her main character Hezekiah Gerizals is non other than the infamous Ebenezer Scrooge and Hannah Yoder is a combination of Bob Cratchet and Tiny Tim.  I loved these characters.  While Gerizals was learning the lessons delivered to him by the ghosts of Christmas past, present and future Hannah was demonstrating her kind and gentle ways by trying to save a horse (that Gerizals felt was useless) from being slaughtered.  I am looking forward to reading this book with my nieces and nephew this Christmas and will be recommending it to all of my friends.
