A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens – Christmas Present to the Future
We pick up for this year’s continuation of A Christmas Carol as Scrooge’s time with the Ghost of Christmas Present starts to come to a close, and things take a dark turn.
The Ghost of Christmas Future is here, and its somewhat macabre as we learn about a mysterious deceased person, the reactions to their passing and see their effects being sold off.
But who is the subject? I’m sure we know, but you will be asleep before learning.

The Description of a New World, Called the Blazing-World by Duchess Margaret Cavendish
I got a fright when reading this section this week. If Jewish people get mentioned in works this age it’s usually a bad thing, but I stuck with it and I felt it was quite respectful as the Empress of the Blazing World summons the spirits and asks them to teach her the ‘Jews Cabbalah’
Ultimately they convince her this wouldn’t be authentic and the bring to her Margaret Cavendish, the author of the work, to help her as a scribe and they go on a journey of world creation, which is rather strange and confusing, but I’m sure this will help you sleep.

Little Women by Louisa May Alcott
For bedtime this week we pick up the story of Little Women. Last episode the March family received a telegram informing them that their father was sick, so it starts out as they prepare for Mother to go see him.
Lots of bustling and preparation will help you get to sleep. But be warned that a baby does sadly succumb to scarlet fever towards the end.
