A Christmas Carol

‘'If I had my way,' said Scrooge, ‘every idiot who goes about with ‘'Merry Christmas'' on his lips, would be boiled with his own pudding, and buried with a stake of holly through his heart.''

No Christmas holidays is ever complete without a new copy of A Christmas Carol. This is a beautiful abridged edition of Charles Dickens' festive masterpiece for our little ones. Illustrated with black-and-white drawings, A Christmas Carol is once again there to remind us of door knockers coming alive, the horrible sound of chains forged by the sins of the wealthy, the sad school of the troubled youth, the jokes on the expense of our protagonist, the frightening moment of dying alone, unloved and robbed, and the warmth that touches our hearts each time we visit the Cratchits' happy home.

‘'God bless us, every one!''
