Book Description
No holiday season is complete without Charles Dickens's timeless tale of redemption starring the tightfisted Mr. Scrooge, the long-suffering Bob Cratchit, kindhearted Tiny Tim, and the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Future. But "A Christmas Carol" was only the first and most famous of Dickens's holiday tales. In this edition, everyone's favorite misanthrope appears in company with four more Dickens stories--"The Chimes, The Cricket on the Hearth, The Battle of Life," and "The Haunted Man"--that further develop the Chistmas spirit Dickens did so much to invent.

In this classic and timeless Christmas story, the greedy and individualistic Ebenezer Scrooge prepares for another Christmas Eve without celebration. But this time around, Mr. Scrooge will get several ghostly warnings about his unpleasant and insatiably avaricious ways that will change his life, forever.

Soon thereafter, Mr. Scrooge is visited by the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Christmas Yet to Come. These ghostly encounters will make Mr. Scrooge cringe as well as make him aware of his cruel nature. In the end, Mr. Scrooge learns a valuable lesson that will benefit others as much as it will benefit his own soul.

Book Description
Charles Dickens wrote "A Christmas Carol" in six weeks at the end of 1843, during a particularly intense time of creativity. He was having financial difficulties and was determined to have the manuscript ready for publication for the Christmas market. This book contains a clear copy Dickens' one and only manuscript, written by his hand, with his revisions and corrections evident on every page. The revisions show how Dickens made the verbs become more active, the number of words became fewer, achieving greater immediacy and vividness. This manuscript was handed to the printer in this form and was published on 19th December 1843. This edition has each of the 66 pages of the original manuscript copied onto the left hand page and the corresponding words typed on the right hand page. The book also contains the eight original illustrations by John Leech, the four color illustrations are on the cover of the book.

Book Description
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
