What Dickens Didn't Tell Us: The Three Magi in "A Christmas Carol"

Sunday, December 102:00—3:30 PMStandring RoomPeabody Institute Library of Danvers15 Sylvan Street, Danvers, MA, 01923

A Christmas Carol is one of the most famous and oft-produced stories in existence. The themes, morals and characters have become a part of common knowledge and a favorite part of the holiday tradition.

Scrooge’s awakening is heralded by visits from the Spirits of Christmas who in essence, point to the Three Wise Men  Melchior, Balthazar, and Caspar that infuse Scrooge with memory, consciousness and destiny. 

Join renowned Dickens scholar Alan Giangregorio who returns to the Peabody Institute Library for another exploration of the symbolism found in A Christmas Carol!

Alan Giangregorio is president of the Greater Boston chapter of the Dickens Fellowship and has been a member since 1996.  A graduate of Boston College, he has embraced and studied the works of Charles Dickens since childhood and has presented this holiday program annually at Boston's (Omni) Parker House where Dickens lived for a time during the 1860s.

Light refreshments will be served.
