Sir Walter Scott - The Tapestried Chamber Christmas Ghost stories kick off with the classic and underrated Sir Walter Scott - The Tapestried Chamber The Keepsake Stories is the title given to three short stories by Sir Walter Scott which appeared in The Keepsake for MDCCCXXIX, a literary annual published for Christmas 1828. The short stories were entitled "My Aunt Margaret's Mirror", "The Tapestried Chamber, or The Lady in the Sacque", and "Death of the Laird's Jock". Charles Heath had originally planned for Scott to become the editor of the annual. Sir Walter Scott, 1st Baronet, was a Scottish novelist, poet and historian. Many of his works remain classics of European and Scottish literature, notably the novels Ivanhoe, Rob Roy, Waverley, Old Mortality, The Heart of Mid-Lothian, and The Bride of Lammermoor, along with the narrative poems Marmion and The Lady of the Lake. He greatly influenced European and American literature. As an advocate and legal administrator by profession, he combined writing and editing with his daily work as Clerk of Session and Sheriff-Depute of Selkirkshire.

White-haired and quite dead Jacob Marley boards the trolley! The trolley is decorated for Christmas and people are sitting on bench seats.

We've traveled to Salem, Mass. to be with family for Christmas. Last night we rode the Dickens Trolley which drives through town telling the Ebenezer Scrooge/ Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Future story on the trolley and at performance locations. Festive and fun! #LiteraryChristmas #Dickens
