About this book

On Christmas Eve, the cold-hearted miser Ebenezer Scrooge (who dismisses the holiday as 'humbug') is visited by the ghost of his dead partner Marley and then by three spirits of Christmas Past, Present, and Yet to Come, who force him to confront his wasted, loveless life and the suffering around him. Awakening transformed, he learns generosity, joy, and human warmth. Dickens's beloved ghost story is a perfect fusion of social conscience, supernatural chill, and heart-warming redemption, and it helped shape the way the modern world celebrates Christmas. Timeless, moving, and endlessly retold, A Christmas Carol remains the greatest of all Christmas tales.
