A Christmas Carol
Charles Dickens
Ebenezer Scrooge is a miserly old skinflint. He hates everyone, especially children.
But at Christmas three ghosts come to visit him, scare him into mending his ways, and he finds, as he celebrates with Bob Cratchit, Tiny Tim and their family, that geniality brings its own reward.
This finest of all Christmas stories is beautifully illustrated with Arthur Rackham’s superb line drawings.

“It is good to be children sometimes, and never better than at Christmas, when its mighty Founder was a child Himself.”
A Christmas Carol • Charles Dickens
“It is a fair, even-handed, noble adjustment of things, that while there is infection in disease and sorrow, there is nothing in the world so irresistibly contagious as laughter and good humour.”
