Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol is a heart-warming story that beautifully captures the spirit of what the festive season should be all about. A perennial family favourite, because of its many film, stage, and TV adaptations, A Christmas Carol is the story of Ebenezer Scrooge, a man whose name is synonymous with greed and mean-spiritedness. Scrooge refuses to have anything to do with Christmas until the ghost of his old business partner, Jacob Marley, returns from the grave on Christmas Eve to haunt him. Scrooge is in turn visited by the spirits of Christmas Past, Present, and Future, each one of whom not only reveals the error of his ways but melts the old miser’s heart. On the road to Scrooge’s redemption, the reader meets a dazzling array of Dickensian characters including the Cratchit family, their sick child Tiny Tim and the jolly, generous, and good natured Mr. Fezziwig, Scrooge’s former boss. A Christmas Carol is a timeless classic that has retained both its magnificence and magic since it was written in 1843.
