Publisher Description

Charles Dickens wrote A Christmas Carol in 1843 and the first edition, published on 19th December, was so successful that it sold out in just six days. The publishers had to produce two further editions between Christmas and the new year to meet the demand, and the novella has never been out of print.

A Christmas Carol tells the story of a greedy money-lender, Ebeneezer Scrooge, who is first visited by the ghost of his former business partner and then by three spirits—the Ghost of Christmas Past, the Ghost of Christmas Present and the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come. They show Scrooge’s lack of compassion to him, compelling him to act more compassionately in the future and to honor Christmas in his heart.

Thinking Face“actually, this book was hard to read for me because I’m not from an English speaking country so the words took a while to make sense in my head so I got the plot only from the context and not from my own knowledge. anyways it was a good book, but it wasn’t the kind of book. I would recommend because it does have an interesting character to grow and it does relate to your own life but I think the book is a classic and it’s not my kind of book so so I would say yes it’s a classic book and I did read it but I did not like it so I would recommend to read it because it’s a classic book and people should just have this kind of basic knowledge but I wouldn’t say I would recommend it because I liked it you know but I find it very interesting even though I don’t like it yes I know I’m kind of pointing that out very much but I think it’s just important to say”
