O tej książce

Daniel The Biggest Miser, Cheapskate and Penny-pincher in History, is a collection of seven writings about Daniel Dancer, the most notorious real-life miser in history, and Charles Dickens’ inspiration for Ebenezer Scrooge. Containing details of all of the absurd and extreme ways Daniel Dancer tried to save money, it also reveals how his miserly behaviour eventually led to his undignified death, how he hid his gold coins among spiders and under cow manure and counted it in the dead of night; how he ate a rotting sheep he found lying dead in the road; how burglars were killed trying to steal his property; how he refused to save his sister’s life so he could save money; how he filed down his dog’s teeth so he could stay rich; how he died naked in a sack surrounded by his gold; how he might have been unfairly treated by his biographers; and much more.
