Description
Celebrate the spirit of the season with this complimentary edition of Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol–the perfect companion for a cozy night by the fire. Includes an exclusive excerpt from Marley, Jon Clinch’s masterful reimagining of A Christmas Carol:
“In Marley, again Jon Clinch shows his genius, taking Dickens’ A Christmas Carol, and turning it inside out, revealing its contemporary wonder, making the characters and actions of both Scrooge and Marley entirely modern, without losing a beat of Dickens’ Victorian music.” —Robert Goolrick, New York Times bestselling author of A Reliable Wife
“I am the Ghost of Christmas Present,” said the Spirit. “Look upon me!”
Since its publication in 1843, A Christmas Carol has become a cultural touchstone, imparting a message as relevant to our world today as it was in Dickens’ own Victorian age. As it tells the story of the miserly Ebenezer Scrooge who is visited by three spirits on Christmas Eve, the book reminds us of the true meaning of Christmas. This timeless tale of transformation and redemption makes a perfect gift for anyone who loves great storytelling.

A Christmas Carol
5By SharonsherrillA simple yet deep dive into human behavior. A great lesson in just how easily life can get in the way of living, and a the ray of hope that anyone can escape that fate if they really believe in themselves.A wonderful tale!
5By starcurielIt’s always great to read an original piece of literature. It’s fun to experience how the language was used during that time period! We all know the story of Scrooge, but it’s always nice to know the true origins of how Dickens meant to portray the character.Greatest Christmas story of all time
