Round the Herne

 My reading of the fifth and final stave of Charles Dickens' delightful "A Christmas Carol". In the final chapter, Scrooge is redeemed of his wicked ways.

 My reading of the fifth stave of Charles Dickens' classic tale "A Christmas Carol". In which the horrifying spectre of the Ghost of Christmas yet To Come appears before Scrooge and torments him with visions of the future (including one of the most evocative scenes in the book, Old Joe's business premises).

 My reading of the third stave of Charles Dickens' classic tale "A Christmas Carol". Scrooge meets with the bountiful Ghost of Christmas Present, learns about the happiness of others... but also if left with a dire warning.

 My reading of the second stave of Charles Dickens 1843 classic "A Christmas Carol". In this chapter, Scrooge encounters the Ghost of Christmas Past and relieves the highs and lows of his earlier life.

 My reading of the first stave of Charles Dickens' 1843 classic story "A Christmas Carol", I hope to get the other four staves recorded and up before the 25th rolls around. Seasons greetings ones and all.

 At a memorial service to a long time friend, Adam, I was asked to read a poem by Eugene Field in honour of Pan which my friend had liked. With this in my thoughts I decided to record it here, as I do not think it is that widely known, and to add in a couple of extra poems on the same topic, one by Elizabeth Barratt Browning and the other by Robert Frost in which the Greek deity appears in America.
