As uplifting as the tale of Scrooge itself, this is the story of how Charles Dickens revived the signal holiday of the Western world. Soon to be a major motion picture.

Just before Christmas in 1843, a debt-ridden and dispirited Charles Dickens wrote a small book he hoped would keep his creditors at bay. His publisher turned it down, so Dickens used what little money he had to put out A Christmas Carol himself. He worried it might be the end of his career as a novelist.

The book immediately caused a sensation. And it breathed new life into a holiday that had fallen into disfavor, undermined by lingering Puritanism and the cold modernity of the Industrial Revolution. It was a harsh and dreary age, in desperate need of spiritual renewal, ready to embrace a book that ended with blessings for one and all.

With warmth, wit, and an infusion of Christmas cheer, Les Standiford whisks us back to Victorian England, its most beloved storyteller, and the birth of the Christmas we know best. The Man Who Invented Christmas is a rich and satisfying read for Scrooges and sentimentalists alike.

Nice Frother
Color: Black
Just what I wanted. This frother is powerful and all I need is the low setting for frothing milk. I’ve also found the stand works great for the frother and 2 of the e attachments. I’ve only had it about a week and haven’t had to charge it. I highly recommend this frother.

Best rechargeable handheld frother.
Color: Black
I am so happy that I found and purchased this hand held frother. I've bought others; battery operated, rechargeable, corded and this is the best by far. It came fully charged from the manufacturer, I use it every day in the morning and haven't had to charge it yet! So reliable! It does a great job mixing quickly, frothing, or a quick remix. Such a great price too.. This baby is a keeper 😁

Great addition to the Kitchen - Not just for coffee!
Color: Black
works great for my morning coffee and can also make whip cream for those special treats!!! Cleans up easily. The recharging and attachment holder is great so you are not hunting for the attachment you need for the job. This has been a great product and completes the task at hand very well. It has the 3 power selections for different jobs. The attachment and the base are built well and very stable. I would order again (if need be) and I would also give a gift!

Powerful vortex of blending…
Color: Black
Too powerful!! I use a handheld frother for mixing coffee/lattes, and when my last one died, I read extensive reviews to find a new one. I liked that this one had a stand, and three speed settings seemed like plenty; unfortunately, this frother is unusable even at the lowest speed for mugs that are more than 50% full, my goodness - it created a coffee vortex with walls so high it looked like a massacre within seconds. We’re absolutely keeping it, now my husband can make whipped cream in seconds, but now I’m shopping for a weaker version, and we’ll be a two-frother household.
