Charles Dickens (1812 - 1870) was one of England's greatest writers and A Christmas Carol shows us why. This holiday classic succinctly yet beautifully depicts the powerful transformation of a lonely and bitter old man into one who - in the true spirit of Christmas - embraces a renewed sense of joy in life and all it has to offer. Dickens writes about the London he lived in, bringing to life the miserable living conditions of the poor and highlighting the injustices of the time. But the core of the story transcends its setting and resonates deep within the human soul. Truly a timeless story, loved by people of all ages. Maria Berg's thirty delightful, full-color illustrations bring A Christmas Carol to life in a way you will love, making this special edition a book to treasure and share with family and friends. Experience Scrooge, Tiny Tim and the Christmas Spirits as never before!
