Publisher's Synopsis
Writing in Lausanne, Charles Dickens composed a long letter to his children setting out his belief in the gospel stories of Jesus. In his own words - as he put it. This musical takes that theme and has Charles Dickens telling his children himself through songs and dances and reading from his own letter. A dozen or so characters including the wonderfully Dickensian Mr. Blenkinsop, the butler, the 'in house little theatre' that had been created where they lived, a small musical group for the thoroughly contemporary music which includes song titles ' The Locust and the Camel' 'An Amazing Man' 'If I can but believe' 'Could have been (a hipp hipp-potamus) 'Five Small Barley Loaves' and many others.15 songs in all. Read and enjoy, go one better and put on a production!
