Charles Dickens's 1843 Christmas masterpiece tells the tale of the spiritual redemption of a man who has lost his humanity. The iconic miser, Ebenezer Scrooge hates Christmas and rejects all his opportunities to celebrate. He has no compassion for those less fortunate than himself and is cruel to everyone. On Christmas Eve, Scrooge is visited by ghosts. The first is his only friend, Marley, who warns him to change his ways. Scrooge is then visited by three Christmas ghosts who try their very best to scare Scrooge straight. Scrooge's transformation is the embodiment of the Christmas spirit and his story a tradition for nearly two hundred years.
On Christmas Eve, old Ebenezer Scrooge leaves his counting-house to go back to his rooms and to bed. Scrooge loves darkness, because darkness is cheap. Of Christmas he says that it is a time for finding yourself a year older and not an hour richer. As for the merry-making of Christmas, he has only two words, "Bah!" and "Humbug!" But this, for Scrooge, becomes a Christmas with a difference. During the long black hours of this Christmas night, Scrooge is visited by four ghosts. Between them, these ghosts show the old penny-pincher what Christmas can do for him, if he will only loosen the strings of his purse and do something for Christmas. And by Christmas morning with its golden sunshine, Scrooge is a new man, ready to spend a Christmas as merry as only Charles Dickens can make for him. -Back cover.
