Green's image provides an intriguing reinterpretation of John Leech's original illustration, "The Last of the Spirits". Green is slightly more faithful to Dickens's text in representing Scrooge clutching at the Spirit's robe, but the miser's name is not evident on the gravestone as in Leech.

There’s a fabulous adaptation of David Copperfield on at the Jermyn Street Theatre in London at the moment. 3 actors working on a tiny stage dramatise most of the novel in just 2 hours. Amazing! And lots of fun. Highly recommended. A production by the Guildford Shakespeare Company.
