Publisher's Synopsis
A Christmas Carol is a classic novella written by Charles Dickens. The story follows the life of Ebenezer Scrooge, a miserly and bitter old man who hates Christmas and everything associated with it. On Christmas Eve, Scrooge is visited by the ghost of his former business partner, Jacob Marley, who warns him that he will be visited by three spirits: the Ghost of Christmas Past, the Ghost of Christmas Present, and the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come. Each of these spirits takes Scrooge on a journey through time, showing him his past, present, and future. Through these experiences, Scrooge begins to understand the true meaning of Christmas and the importance of kindness and generosity. The book is a powerful and heartwarming tale of redemption, filled with memorable characters and timeless themes. It has become a beloved holiday classic and has been adapted into countless plays, movies, and television specials.Marley was dead: to begin with. There is no doubt whatever about that. The register of his burial was signed by the clergyman, the clerk, the undertaker, and the chief mourner. Scrooge signed it. And Scrooge's name was good upon change, for anything he chose to put his hand to.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
