Blurb: A Christmas Carol
It's Christmas Eve, and Ebenezer Scrooge wants nothing to do with it. Heโd rather not give his clerk a day off, he shanโt be signing up to the local fundraising bid, and his exhaustingly cheerful nephewโs party is simply out of the question. But if the living wonโt leave him alone, the dead are even more persistentโand this year, a gaggle of ghosts have made it their mission to bamboozle him out of his misanthropy once and for all.
Charles Dickensโs spectral novella was an instant bestseller in 1843โright at the heart of the Victorian reinvention of Christmasโand has been the stuff of a thousand adaptations ever since. Whether itโs the elderly miser confronting his redemption arc, the cosy yet creepy atmosphere, the message of hope and goodwill, or the Tim so Tiny you can fit two of him inside an incongruously enormous turkey, A Christmas Carol has endured as the ultimate festive classic.
