A Christmas Carol boy (4,3)
I believe the answer is:
tiny tim
'a christmas carol boy' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for tiny tim that I've seen before include "Dickens mite" , "Handicapped boy" , "Poor little kid" , "Lovable boy in Dickens novel ` `A Christmas Carol' '" , "Cratchit's youngest (C. Carol)" .)
