A Christmas Carol

The Story

The best-known and best-loved of Dickens' tales, A CHRISTMAS CAROL is the story of miserly Ebenezer Scrooge, who hated the humbug of Christmas...until one Christmas Eve, three ghosts take him on journeys through the past, present and future. As Scrooge enters the lives of the lovable Tiny Tim, Bob Cratchit, and the Fezziwigs, he comes to know the meaning of kindness, charity, and goodwill. A story of yuletide joy, A CHRISTMAS CAROL is Dickens' hymn to the spirit of Christmas, a spirit to be cherished, as Scrooge himself realizes, throughout 'all the year.' This easy-to-read edition of A CHRISTMAS CAROL includes sixteen pages of historical illustrations and a brief biography of the author, Charles Dickens.
