Complete and unabridged. When A Christmas Carol was first published in 1843, it was an immediate success. A celebration of Christmas, a story of redemption, and a critique of Victorian society, Charles Dickens's atmospheric novella follows the miserly, frugal Ebenezer Scrooge, who sees Christmas as a "waste of time." It belongs to the Macmillan Collector’s Library series; a series of stunning, cloth-bound pocket-sized books with gold edges and bookmarks. These beautiful books are perfect gifts or a treat for any book lover. Includes original illustrations by John Leech, with an afterword by Anna South. Only through a series of frightening, life-changing visits from the ghost of his deceased business partner Marley and the spirits of Christmas Past, Present, and Future does Scrooge begin to see the errors of his ways. With poignant characters, rich imagery, and expressive language, the hopeful message of A Christmas Carol remains just as relevant today as it was when first published.
