A Christmas Carol
Three ghosts. One Christmas Eve. A chance to change forever.
Three ghosts. One Christmas Eve. A chance to change forever.
For Ebenezer Scrooge, Christmas is a waste of time and money. Cold-hearted and miserly, he shuts out kindness, companionship, and the festive cheer around him—until an unexpected visitor arrives on Christmas Eve.
The ghost of his former business partner, Jacob Marley, brings a chilling warning: Scrooge must change his ways or face a terrible fate. Through encounters with the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Yet to Come, he journeys through forgotten memories, witnesses the hardships and joys of others, and confronts the future his choices may create.
From the warmth of the Cratchit family home to the loneliness of Scrooge’s own life, Charles Dickens weaves a moving story of compassion, generosity, and second chances. Filled with memorable characters, humour, and haunting scenes, A Christmas Carol asks what truly makes a life rich.
This edition includes historical context and an author biography, offering readers background on Dickens’s life and the world behind his beloved Christmas story.
Whether you are discovering it for the first time or returning to a seasonal favourite, A Christmas Carol is a timeless reminder that it is never too late to open your heart.
