Dickens? ghostly tale of Ebenezer Scrooge, first published in 1843, has become as much a part of Christmas as trees and stockings, plum pudding and mistletoe. This lavish, unabridged new edition resonates with the true spirit of Christmas. It is superbly illustrated by PJ Lynch whose detailed, atmospheric artwork brings Dickensian London vividly alive. This is the story of a mean old skinflint who hates everyone. On a Christmas eve as cold as his heart, he receives three ghostly visitors - the spirits of Christmases Past, Present and Yet to Come. They take him on an amazing journey of transformation, proving that even the coldest heart can thaw. Ages: read together 6+, read alone 10+.
