Author Description

In this comic royalty-performance mystery play, Mother Christmas has brought forth a number of famous fictional Christmas characters to help her find who kidnapped Father Christmas and to bring him back in time to save the day.Among her helpers: a still-curmudgeonly but trying-hard-to-be-good Ebenezer Scrooge, his goodness mentor Tiny Tim (all grown up and a little bit cynical); the mysterious and strangely pathetic Want--a child symbolic of all the want in the world; James and Della, the dotty husband and wife of O. Henry's "Gifts of the Magi," and a deliciously mischievous Jack Frost.Crazy plot twists and antics abound in this play--great as stage or dinner piece, or just for an entertaining read.Performance information is included in the book.
