Summary

This quote speaks about the author's personal connection to the story 'A Christmas Carol' and the impact it had on their life. By placing the same copy of the book that was read to them by their grandfather many years ago on their desk, they found inspiration to write their own version called 'Christmas Spirits.' This shows the enduring power of the story and how it has influenced the author's own creativity and desire to pass on the tradition by reading it to their grandson.
