A Christmas Carol Paperback

Ebenezer Scrooge, a moneylender who counts Christmas as a waste of good working hours, gets one night and three ghosts in which to reconsider. Dickens built the story in five staves, beginning with Marley's chained warning and moving through the visits of Christmas Past, Present and Yet to Come. Along the way the reader meets the Cratchit household, Scrooge's nephew Fred, and the boy Scrooge left behind at school. The 116-page paperback is short enough to read aloud over a few December evenings, and the prose keeps its Victorian flavour without becoming hard going for younger readers. Highlights of this edition: • Dickens's novella complete in its original five staves • Follows Scrooge from Marley's warning through three night visits • 116 pages, sized for reading aloud to a family • Introduces the Cratchits, including Tiny Tim Recommended for family readers, school libraries and seasonal gift buyers, published by Fingerprint!
