A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens

Charles Dickens' classic A CHRISTMAS CAROL is a timeless Christmas story beloved by generations of readers. Set in early 19th century London, the story centers on Ebeneezer Scrooge, an elderly miser absolutely devoid of Christmas spirit or charity. One Christmas Eve, seven years after the death of his business partner, Joseph Marley, Scrooge is paid a ghostly visit by Marley. His late friend urges Scrooge to mend his ways before he too dies and suffers the same horrible fate that has befallen Marley. In the course of the night, Scrooge is visited by spirits who show him the error of his ways and what the future holds.
