Book Description
Marley was dead: to begin with. There is no doubt whatever about that. The register of his burial was signed by the clergyman, the clerk, the undertaker, and the chief mourner. Scrooge signed it: and Scrooge's name was good upon 'Change, for anything he chose to put his hand to. Old Marley was as dead as a door-nail.

A Magical Christmas Tale,
By Amanda OBrien "Mandie O'Brien Author of Molly... (Northern Ireland) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
This review is from: A Christmas Carol (Vintage Classics) (Paperback)
A Christmas Carol is the classic story of how a bitter miser called Ebenezer Scrooge gets re-habilitated after being visited by three ghosts. The Ghosts' of Christmas Past, Present and Future show him visions of his life and of his influence on the lives of others. On seeing things as they truly are Scrooge changes his whole outlook on the world.
The first time I came across this book it was a bridged version meant for children and as I got older I read the full story. It was the first Dickens book I read and I'm glad to say it wasn't the last. I never get tired of this story. I read it every Christmas and even though it has been thirty years since I first read it, Christmas Eve wouldn't be the same without this little indulgence. You may think that because you have seen one of the numerous adaptations of this story that it doesn't really matter if you read the original. Don't make that mistake I beg you; this is one treat you shouldn't miss.

A beautiful Christmas addition to the season,
By Jon Shipton "Jon" (United kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Christmas Carol (Hardcover)
If you have never read 'A Christmas Carol' by Charles Dickens, this would be an excellent introduction to a timeless story.
If you already own any copy of the book, add this one too. As it is probably one of the most sumptious copies around. Thick glossy pages and beautiful illustrations, make this a joy for years to come! I collect different print versions of Dickens' books, and this without a doubt is one of the lovliest I have ever seen. Get it and make it part of your holiday season.

A wonderful presentation,
By
This review is from: A Christmas Carol (Hardcover)
A quick look for any Victorian novelist will quickly show that there are any number of versions of the classics available to suit any budget. As they all tell the same story in (mostly) the same words why wouldn't you just buy the cheapest? The answer is in editions like this one.
For a still very reasonable price you get a well made hardback that sits well when you read it and has great illustrations. As a way to get younger children engaged with a great author and a great story this is very effective (thought the Muppets get close as well!) Highly recommended
