A Christmas Carol
December 4, 2024
A Christmas Carol is one of Charles Dickens' most loved books - a true classic and a Christmas time must-read. Ebenezer Scrooge is a mean, miserable, bitter old man with no friends. One cold Christmas Eve, three ghosts take him on a scary journey to show him the error of his nasty ways. By visiting his past, present and future, Scrooge learns to love Christmas and the people all around him. With a light-hearted introduction by bestselling author Anthony Horowitz, creator of the highly successful Alex Rider novels, most recently Snakehead. Charles Dickens (1812-70) is one of the most recognized celebrities of English literature. His imagination, wit, mastery of the language and huge creative output single him out as one of the few people who genuinely deserve to be called genius.
My yearly read of one of the best Christmas books ever written. There’s a reason it’s considered a classic. Even if you’ve seen any of the movies, you should read this book. There’s so much to the book that can’t be captured in the movies.
If not you should watch The Muppet Christmas Carol. It combines my favorites of the book and the Muppets.
