Charles Dickens
On a bleak Christmas Eve in Victorian London, Ebeneezer Scrooge - a wealthy but miserly old man - rejects all holiday cheer. He underpays his loyal clerk Bob Cratchit, scoffs at his nephew Fred, and refuses to donate to charity. 'Bah! Humbug!'However, Scrooge’s life is about to change forever when the ghost of his former business partner, Jacob Marley, now forever condemned to wander the earth in chains as punishment for his greed, warns Scrooge that unless he changes, he will share the same fate. Scrooge is to expect an additional three spirits this night: the Ghost of Christmas Past, the Ghost of Christmas Present, and the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come. Written in 1843 by Charles Dickens, this Gothic Christmas tale has become a beloved story about redemption, compassion, and the beauty of generosity. Arthur Rackham’s 1915 illustrations return in this immersive edition for a truly immersive Christmas storytelling experience.
