A Christmas Carol is a novella by English author Charles Dickens. It was first published by Chapman & Hall on 19 December 1843. Carol tells the story of a bitter old miser named Ebenezer Scrooge and his transformation resulting from a supernatural visit by the ghost of his former business partner Jacob Marley and the Ghosts of Christmases Past, Present and Yet to Come. The novella met with instant success and critical acclaim.The book was written and published in early Victorian era Britain, a period when there was strong nostalgia for old Christmas traditions together with the introduction of new customs, such as Christmas trees and greeting cards. Dickens' sources for the tale appear to be many and varied, but are, principally, the humiliating experiences of his childhood, his sympathy for the poor, and various Christmas stories and fairy tales

Excellent version of the story! I used this to read along with my daughter’s class (I had forgotten how witty Dickens was). Their class did a field trip to see this in a large city’s production (which was an excellent version with a modern twist). It was such a wonderful way to bring it to life, while comparing and contrasting the different versions. I had bought another version of this book first. However, the font was so tiny in that version it was hard to read without a magnifier glass. This particular version was great. I just added a gel highlighter to highlight some of the more notable or hilarious passages. :)

Great novel

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 8, 2016

I brought A Christmas Carol for my English GCSE course.
I have never read a 19th century novel before. It took me a while to really get in to the story but once i did, what a fantastic novel Dickens has written.

In A Christmas Carol we learn so much about a man named,Ebenezer Scrooge and what person he is and what a person he becomes by the end of the book.
The book is made up of five staves (chapters). Though out the staves Scrooge is visited by three ghost: Ghost of Christmas past, ghost of Christmas present and ghost of Christmas future.

In Stave one, Dickens description of Scrooge is, by far, a terrible one. Dickens using a phase " Scrooge a squeezing, wrenching, grasping, scraping, clutching, covetous old sinner!" Dickens strong use of these adjectives tells us Scrooge is a self centred, wicked man and he only thinks about him self and his money.
Its made clear that Scrooge does not like Christmas, saying " bah humbug" as a reply to anyone that wishes him a Merry Christmas.

By stave five, after Scrooge has been visited by all three ghost, Dickens image of Scrooge is completely different. Scrooge,now a man that likes Christmas and wishes anyone he passes a "Merry Christmas".
Scrooge is now a warm-hearted, kind and jolly man. As described by Dickens "as good as a friend, as good as a master and as good a man". Scrooge has learnt, by the three ghosts, the importance of Christmas and what it is to be a kind and generous man.

A Christmas Carol is definitely worth a read if you enjoy 19th century novels or if you enjoy a timeless Christmas novel.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 9, 2016

For me this was the first Charles Dickens’s book that I have read and was fascinated by the story and his distinctive way of writing.

The story is set in the Victorian era and is about the redemption of a business man who at the start is self-centred, greedy and ignorant person but then redeems himself to become a better person. It is a story about poverty and social classes - which I think is relevant topic in today’s society as much as it was in the Victorian era.

My favourite character in the book was Scrooge because he came across as someone who is powerful, determined and good at what he does. I also liked the three ghost and how each of them presented the past, present and future.

The story did not make me cry or laugh but it did hold my attention and kept me intrigued and turning the pages.
The bits that I felt were not so good about this book is that Dickens’s has written too much in some stave which I think could have been left out because they did not add anything to the story.

Overall, I would highly recommend this book and think this book is really a must read book for new and experienced readers alike.
