One Christmas Eve, after being particularly cruel to his employee,
the miserly Ebenezer Scrooge is visited by the ghost of his dead
business partner, Jacob Marley, who tells him that he will be
visited by the ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, Future. Each
ghost shows him things that rekindle the joy and spirit of
Christmas within his heart and awaken his goodwill toward his
fellow man. In typical fashion, Dickens deals with social injustice
in a way that transcends the 19th century. This illustrated version
of the classic holiday tale is brough to life with an illustrated
Character List (like a Dramatis Personae), 134 pages of color story
artwork, and fascinating support material that details the life and
work of Charles Dickens as well as information on Victorian
England.
