One Christmas Eve, after being particularly cruel to his employee, the
miserly Ebenezer Scrooge is visited by the ghost of his dead business
partner, Jacob Marley, who tells him that he will be visited by the
ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, Future. Each ghost shows him things
that rekindle the joy and spirit of Christmas within his heart and
awaken his goodwill toward his fellow man. In typical fashion, Dickens
deals with social injustice in a way that transcends the 19th century.
This illustrated version of the classic holiday tale is brough to life
with an illustrated Character List (like a Dramatis Personae), 134 pages
of color story artwork, and fascinating support material that details
the life and work of Charles Dickens as well as information on Victorian
England.
