Overview

The most popular Christmas story ever written features the miserly Scrooge who, with the unwanted assistance of three ghosts, realizes that his cold pursuit of wealth has wasted his life. A Christmas soon to come will bring with it his death, but Christmas reminds both Scrooge and ourselves that, no matter our past mistakes, while there is a moment left of life there is still a chance to add joy to the world. This Nook edition includes classic original illustrations and a linked table of contents.

About the Author

About The Author
Charles Dickens (1812-1870) is probably the greatest novelist England has ever produced, the author of such famous books as A Christmas Carol, Hard Times, Great Expectations, David Copperfield, and Oliver Twist. His innate comic genius and shrewd depictions of Victorian life — along with his indelible characters — have made his books beloved by readers the world over. Dickens was born in Landport, Portsea, England and died in Kent after suffering a stroke. The second of eight children of a family continually plagued by debt, the young Dickens came to know hunger, privation, and the horrors of the infamous debtors' prison and the evils of child labor. These unfortunate early life experiences helped shape many of his greatest works.
