Rediscover the timeless tale of redemption and hope in this stunning, unabridged edition of Charles Dickens' beloved classic, A Christmas Carol.

When A Christmas Carol was first published in 1843, it was an overnight success. A celebration of Christmas, a tale of redemption, and a critique on Victorian society, Dickens' atmospheric novella follows the miserly, penny-pinching Ebenezer Scrooge who views Christmas as 'humbug'.

It is only through a series of eerie, life-changing visits from the ghost of his deceased business partner Marley and the spirits of Christmas past, present and future that Scrooge begins to see the error of his ways. With heart-rending characters, rich imagery and evocative language, the hopeful message of A Christmas Carol remains as significant today as when it was first published.

Part of the Macmillan Collector's Library, this clothbound edition features gold foiled edges, a ribbon marker, and original illustrations by John Leech.With an afterword by Anna South, this pocket-sized classic is a perfect gift for any book lover or a treat for yourself this festive season.
Autorenporträt
Charles Dickens was born in 1812 near Portsmouth, where his father worked as a clerk. Living in London in 1824, Dickens was sent by his family to work in a blacking-warehouse, and his father was arrested and imprisoned for debt. Fortunes improved and Dickens returned to school, eventually becoming a parliamentary reporter. His first piece of fiction was published by a magazine in December 1832, and by 1836 he had begun his first novel, The Pickwick Papers. He focused his career on writing, completing fourteen highly successful novels including Great Expectations, Oliver Twist and Bleak House, as well as penning journalism, shorter fiction and travel books. He died in 1870.
