A Christmas Carol

A Christmas Carol is a classic novella written by Charles Dickens in 1843. The story follows the miserly and bitter Ebenezer Scrooge, who despises Christmas and all its festivities. On Christmas Eve, Scrooge is visited by the ghost of his former business partner, Jacob Marley, who warns him of the consequences of his selfish ways. Throughout the night, Scrooge is visited by three more spirits - the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Yet to Come - who show him the errors of his ways and the impact his actions have had on those around him. As Scrooge is confronted with his past, present, and future, he begins to understand the true meaning of Christmas and the importance of kindness and generosity. The novella is a timeless tale of redemption and has become a beloved holiday classic.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.
