{"product_id":"the-haunted-man-and-the-charles-dickens-9781503076693","title":"The Haunted Man and the Ghost's Bargain","description":"Redlaw is a teacher of chemistry who often broods over wrongs done him and grief from his past. He is haunted by a spirit, who is not so much a ghost as Redlaw's phantom twin and is \"an awful likeness of himself...with his features, and his bright eyes, and his grizzled hair, and dressed in the gloomy shadow of his dress...\" This spectre appears and proposes to Redlaw that he can allow him to \"forget the sorrow, wrong, and trouble you have known...to cancel their remembrance...\" Redlaw is hesitant at first, but finally agrees. However, before the spirit vanishes it imposes an additional consequence: \"The gift that I have given you, you shall give again, go where you will.\" The Haunted Man and the Ghost's Bargain, A Fancy for Christmas-Time (better known as The Haunted Man and the Ghost's Bargain or simply as The Haunted Man) is a novella by Charles Dickens first published in 1848. It is the fifth and last of Dickens's Christmas novellas. The story is more about the spirit of the holidays than about the holidays themselves, harking back to the first in the series, A Christmas Carol. The tale centres on a Professor Redlaw and those close to him.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Charles Dickens\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1503076695\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781503076693\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/03\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 172\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.39lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.99h x 5.00w x 0.37d","brand":"Charles Dickens","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47637242675455,"sku":"9781503076693","price":9.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_70893cb0-7b40-4e55-8d08-594e404550f1.jpg?v=1765114904","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-haunted-man-and-the-charles-dickens-9781503076693","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
