A Christmas Carol

About this book

In this stunning full color illustrated edition of Charles Dickens' classic, the story is fully abridged and brought to life for a younger readership."Bah", said Scrooge, "Humbug".Old Ebenezer Scrooge is too mean to spend money on coals for the fire in his counting-house, where his clerk Bob Cratchit shivers in the winter cold. Declining an invitation to his nephew Fred's Christmas party, and refusing to give money to charity, he is ready for his usual miserly Christmas in his cold, dingy apartment. But that night, the ghost of his dead partner Jacob Marley appears and tells him to expect a visit from three spirits over the next three nights... An absolutely enchanting illustrated edition of this Christmas favourite with full color artwork on almost every page and including scenes that are rarely illustrated - such as the ghostly horse-drawn carriage that swoops up the stairs to Scrooge's bedchamber. It will delight readers of all ages and is sure to become a definitive edition of this classic.
