A beautiful edition of the classic tale, A Christmas

Carol.

Ebenezer Scrooge is a miserly and mean-spirited old man.

He treats family, coworkers, and strangers alike with distaste.

But on Christmas Eve he receives a visit from the ghost of his

dead business partner, Jacob Marley. Marley warns Scrooge that unless

he learns to be less greedy and self-serving that Scrooge will

be condemned to wander Earth weighed down with heavy chains,

as Marley has been.

Marley tells Scrooge that three spirits will visit him.

First, the Ghost of Christmas Past visits and

shows Scrooge his own Christmases past, including the Christmas

when his fiancé left him for being obsessed with money.

Second, the Ghost of Christmas Present shows

Scrooge all the happiness occurring at the various Christmas festivities

around the city.

Finally, The Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come shows

Scrooge what will happen after his own death, and Scrooge is

horrified to find that everyone will celebrate it.

Distraught, Scrooge begs for another chance, and suddenly wakes

in his own bed. Forever after he honours the spirit of Christmas

with kindness, generosity and warmth.

a classic Christmas story which will be read over each year
