A Christmas Carol - Collector's Edition

A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens, presented in the Wordsworth Collector's Edition hardcover, remains the quintessential festive tale blending warmth and suspense. This classic introduces Ebenezer Scrooge, a figure emblematic of greed and miserliness, whose harsh dismissal of Christmas cheer is famously scornful. His perspective shifts dramatically after the ghost of his former partner, Jacob Marley, appears on Christmas Eve to warn him. Subsequently, three spirits—representing Christmas Past, Present, and Future—visit Scrooge, exposing his faults and gradually thawing his hardened heart, guiding him toward redemption. Alongside Scrooge’s transformation, readers meet memorable Dickensian figures such as the impoverished Cratchit family, including the fragile Tiny Tim, and the benevolent Fezziwig.
