The Society of Scrooge: The further trials and triumphs of Scrooge and his companions

by Judy La Salle

It is the spring of 1845 and Scrooge continues to live the good life. He is a successful businessman with an unexcelled reputation and a large society of friends. He continues to struggle with a certain romance, however, since it exposes his inexperience in such matters. Still, he is the happiest he has ever been — until tragedy strikes. Scrooge is devastated by the event and, although he does not revert to his former state of mean-spiritedness, he believes he no longer has reason to live. He is given a small glimmer of hope by some good news he receives, but even that cannot undo the terrible occurrence. Since Scrooge is now an active participant in the larger community of London, his family and friends, all of whom have engaging stories of their own, come to his aid. Of course, Marley once again lends a helping hand and imparts wisdom that is known only to a world far removed from early Victorian London.

I can't get enough of this series!

I read only Christmas stories in December. I discovered the first in this Scrooge series last year and finished this second offering just now. These are wonderful stories! It's extremely hard to wait to read the third in this series until December, 2026--but I will, as my Christmas gift to myself.

I often wondered what happened after " God bless us everyone".

Very impressive imagination. I think even Charles Dickens would be amused. Loved it. It is good to know we can all change

Part 2 of the bigger book

Pleasant read, but Book 1 is a necessity. Otherwise Book 2 is too weightless. If Scrooge and Fred were just some Bill and Bob, this would be much ado about, well, if not nothing, at least not much.
