A Christmas Carol (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781530906512)

A Christmas Carol is a novella by Charles Dickens, first published in London by Chapman & Hall on 19 December 1843. Ebenezer Scrooge, a miserly, cold-hearted creditor, continues his stingy, greedy ways on Christmas Eve. He rejects a Christmas dinner invitation, and all the good tidings of the holiday, from his jolly nephew, Fred; he yells at charity workers; and he overworks his employee, Bob Cratchit. At night, Scrooge's former partner Jacob Marley, dead for seven years, visits him in the form of a ghost. Marley's spirit has been wandering since he died as punishment for being consumed with business and not with people while alive. He has come to warn Scrooge and perhaps save him from the same fate. He tells him Three Spirits will come to him over the next three nights. A Christmas Carol remains popular-having never been out of print-and has been adapted many times to film, stage, opera, and other media.
