A Christmas Carol is the most famous, heart-warming and chilling
festive story of them all. In these pages we meet Ebenezer Scrooge,
whose name is synonymous with greed and parsimony: 'Every idiot who
goes about with "Merry Christmas" on his lips, should be boiled
with his own pudding, and buried with a stake of holly through his
heart'. This attitude is soon challenged when the ghost of his old
partner, Jacob Marley, returns from the grave to haunt him on
Christmas Eve. Scrooge is then visited in turn by three spirits of
Christmas Past, Present and Future, each one revealing the error of
his ways and gradually melting the frozen heart of this old miser,
leading him towards his redemption. On the journey we take with
Scrooge we encounter a rich array of Dickensian characters
including the poor Cratchit family with the ailing Tiny Tim and the
generous and jolly Fezziwig. When Charles Dickens wrote A Christmas
Carol in 1843 he fashioned an enduring gift to the world, capturing
the essence of the love, kindness and generosity of the Christmas
season. It is a timeless classic and the story's uplifting magic
remains as potent today as when it was first published.
This beautifully designed paperback featuring three
Christmas-themed stories by a world-renowned classic writer will
make the perfect stocking-stuffer purchase. This paperback will
feature 3 Christmas-themed stories by the author, led by "The Story
of the Goblins Who Stole a Sexton," a tale acknowledged as a
precursor to Dickens's beloved classic A Christmas Carol. Other
featured stories include "What Christmas Is as We Grow Older" and
"A Christmas Dinner." This book will be accompanied by three
similar titles: Christmas with L.M. Montgomery, Christmas with
Louisa May Alcott, and Christmas with O. Henry. The book will
feature elegantly designed covers and endpapers, quality paper
stock for interiors, and card-stock covers (with flaps).
