The Miser of Marcham Park
Hi all, Happy Holidays, however you choose to celebrate - or commiserate this year. The following episode is the last Tale of the year (I’ll be back round 19th January 2022)
I wanted to close out the year by dissecting a figure who entered Xmas lore back in 1843 - Charles Dickens’ Ebenezer Scrooge - one of his many ‘Mean men’. Was there a real life equivalent who inspired Dickens’ fertile imagination? Hit the button and find out.
The blog post of the episode is here. Check out the blog at historyandimagination.com
For just $2 US a month you can support the show, and get access to exclusive content, over at Patreon. There are a handful of episodes there now - in 2022 I’m committing to drop a bonus episode for every main episode released (22 planned for next year). Come on over and join the team!
Please leave a like and review if your pod catcher allows. More importantly, if you enjoyed this episode, share it with someone else. Creative works grow best by word of mouth. It’ll also give you someone to chat about my episodes with.
Follow the show on Facebook, Twitter or Pinterest.
Music, writing, narration, mixing all yours truly. I normally compose on the fly, though have borrowed God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen (anon - first appeared among recusant Catholic families in England in the 1650s)
And Sleigh Ride (Leroy Anderson & Mitchell Parish - FYI The Andrews Sisters version may be canon, but The Ronettes cover is where it’s at).
