Written in just a few weeks, A Christmas Carol famously recounts the plight of Bob Cratchit, whose family finds joy even in poverty, and the transformation of his miserly boss Scrooge as he is visited by the ghosts of Christmas past, present, and future.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrom Scrooge’s \"Bah!\" and \"Humbug!\" to Tiny Tim’s \"God bless us every one!\" A Christmas Carol shines with warmth, decency, kindness, humility, and the value of the holidays. But beneath its sentimental surface, A Christmas Carol offers another of Dickens’s sharply critical portraits of a brutal society, and an inspiring celebration of the possibility of spiritual, psychological, and social change.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis new volume collects Dickens’s three most renowned \"Christmas Books,\" including The Chimes, a New Year’s tale, and The Cricket on the Hearth, whose eponymous creature remains silent during sorrow and chirps amid happiness.","brand":"G Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47083177148656,"sku":"2940013834415","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013834415_p0.jpg?v=1763595332","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013834415","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
