Marley was dead, to begin with. There is no doubt whatever about that. And so begins the ultimate Christmas tale of ghosts, goodwill, and redemption. On Christmas Eve in Victorian London the snow-covered city is filled with joy and frivolity. Everywhere people are rushing home to be with their loved ones in anticipation of the holiday. Everyone that is except for Ebenezer Scrooge, the wealthy old miser who rejects holiday cheer with the famous words, "Christmas, Bah! Humbug!" upon his lips. But when Scrooge is visited by the ghost of his long-dead business partner, Jacob Marley, and informed that he will be visited by three Christmas spirits, he will soon learn there are more important things than money. Scrooge will be forced to look at the man he has become and make the choice to continue his chosen path or become the man he thought he could never be. Originally published in 1843, A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens is still considered one of the most beloved stories ever written. It has inspired countless films, book adaptations and most importantly, helped nurture the Christmas spirit each holiday season. This edition also contains an all-new, original story "The Tale of Mrs. Cratchit" by Lisa Shambrook.

Autorenporträt
Charles Dickens was born in 1812 in Portsmouth, England, and experienced a tumultuous childhood marked by his father's imprisonment for debt. This forced Dickens to leave school at a young age to work in a boot-blacking factory, an experience that deeply influenced his later writings. Despite these hardships, Dickens rose to become one of the most famous and influential novelists of the Victorian era.Dickens' literary career took off with the serialization of The Pickwick Papers in 1836, which was followed by a string of successful novels, including Oliver Twist and A Christmas Carol. His works were known for their vivid characters, social commentary, and the serialized format that kept readers eagerly awaiting each new installment. Dickens used his writing to expose the harsh realities of industrial society, particularly the struggles of the poor and the injustices they faced.Throughout his life, Dickens was not only a prolific writer but also an advocate for social reform. He campaigned for children's rights, education, and the plight of the working class, using his influence to raise awareness and inspire change. His legacy endures in the timeless appeal of his novels and the term ""Dickensian,"" which describes both his distinctive style and the societal conditions he depicted.
