A Christmas Carol and Other Christmas Writings

A collection built around A Christmas Carol, the tale of the miserly Ebenezer Scrooge, who is visited by ghosts on Christmas Eve and made to look at his life. Alongside it are other Christmas stories and sketches by Dickens, written in the same spirit of warmth, humour and social conscience. Together they show how he helped shape the modern idea of Christmas as a time of family, charity and goodwill.
