A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens


Rating: 4/5


Review: I am so glad that I finally read this Christmas classic! The movies that I have seen certainly do it justice. The book had a little bit more detail, of course, and the particular version I was reading had a few interesting facts on every page to go along with it. I can definitely see why this is such a beloved classic.


Book Description: One of the best-loved and oft-quoted stories of "the man who invented Christmas"--English writer Charles Dickens--A Christmas Carol debuted in 1843 and has touched millions of hearts since. Cruel miser Ebeneezer Scrooge has never met a shilling he doesn't like. . .and hardly a man he does. And he hates Christmas most of all. When Scrooge is visited by his old partner, Jacob Marley, and the ghosts of Christmas Past, Christmas Present, and Christmas Yet to Come, he learns eternal lessons of charity, kindness, and goodwill.
