Twin Cities Metro magazine calls this reimagining of Dickens’ A Christmas Carol “light” and “witty.” Mary Ann Grossman from the St. Paul Pioneer Press writes, “Tom Hegg turns his considerable talent loose on a book of light verse to commemorate the 200th anniversary of Charles Dickens’ birth.” Also, watch an interview with the author on Kare 11.
Tom Hegg, author of the modern holiday classic A Cup of Christmas Tea, takes several immortal Dickens characters from different novels, mixes them together with newly minted ones, puts them all in mortal danger, and sets the story to wickedly clever verse. This well-produces hardcover book is further enhanced by the lively illustrations of Kevin Cannon.
Tom Hegg is an American author, teacher, and theatrical professional who performed for many seasons as a member of 
the Tyrone Guthrie Theatre in Minneapolis, MN. Hegg lives with wife Peggy Hegg in Eden Prairie, MN. Hegg is best known for selling 1.5 million copies of his first book, A Cup of Christmas Tea, illustrated by Warren Hanson. Hegg and Hanson’s working relationship continued with nine more illustrated books including three books featuring a colorful bear named Peef. Hegg has also collaborated on The Handsome Prince with illustrator Kevin Cannon.
