Dickens Charles A Christmas Carol and Other Christmas Books
'What was merry Christmas to Scrooge? Out upon merry Christmas! What good had it ever done to him?' Ebenezer Scrooge is a bad-tempered skinflint who hates Christmas and all it stands for, but a ghostly visitor foretells three apparitions who will thaw Scrooge's frozen heart. A Christmas Carol has gripped the public imagination since it was first published in 1843, and it is now as much a part of Christmas as mistletoe or plum pudding. This edition reprints the story alongside Dickens's four other Christmas Books: The Chimes, The Cricket on the Hearth, The Battle of Life, and The Haunted Man. All five stories show Dickens at his unpredictable best, jumbling together comedy and melodrama, genial romance and urgent social satire, in pursuit of his aim 'to awaken some loving and forbearing thoughts, never out of season in a Christian land'.

Dickens Charles A Christmas Carol and Other Christmas Books
Can anyone think of Christmas without thinking of Dickens, the man who virtually invented it? Recurring throughout his writing, it figures as his most powerful symbol of community, humanity and the possibility of redemption. In the Christmas Books these positive themes are dramatized against surprisingly dark backgrounds. ‘The Chimes’ is a fantasy of loss and regeneration featuring the father–daughter relationship which so preoccupied this writer. In ‘The Cricket on the Hearth’ and ‘The Battle of Life’, marriage is put under the microscope. ‘The Haunted Man’ is a study of obsession, a parable of memory and forgetfulness. But what most readers will recognize as the perfection of seasonal stories is A Christmas Carol which comes as near to fairy tale as Dickens ever did. This drama of a man redeemed by ghostly visions of past and future has appeared in many versions since but none can quite match the original, and Scrooge, Bob Cratchit, Marley’s Ghost and Tiny Tim have achieved a classic status which is proof against any parody.

Dickens C. A Christmas Carol and Other Christmas Stories
A delightful holiday collection that includes "A Christmas Carol" and other classic Charles Dickens Christmas stories. As much a part of Christmas as mistletoe and carolers, Dickens "A Christmas Carol" was once read publicly on Christmas Eve each year by Dickens himself. This heartwarming tale continues to stir in us the same feelings of repentance, forgiveness, and love that transformed Ebenezer Scrooge from grumbling, "Bah! Humbug!" to sharing Tiny Tims happy "God bless us, every one!" Dickenss other Christmas stories prove as rich as his most famous. "A Christmas Tree" describes a Victorian Christmas as seen through a childs delighted eyes. "Christmas Dinner" celebrates the reunion of a divided family, while the Christmas chapters from The Pickwick Papers move from the exhilaration of a Christmas wedding to a shivery ghost story that foreshadows the spirits seen by Scrooge. Warmly nostalgic and beautifully written, the Christmas stories of Charles Dickens deserve a very special place in our memories and our hearts.
