Product Description

▼▲

Charles Dickens' classic A Christmas Carol has entertained readers each year since its publication.

Visited on Christmas Eve by the ghost of his departed business partner Jacob Marley, as well as the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Christmas Present, and Christmas Yet-to-Come, Scrooge is both reminded of what he was and shown fully what he has become. Broken down by the sight of his own future neglected grave, as well as the impending death of little Tiny Tim, Scrooge awakes a new man who brings his newfound joy and generosity to his employees and family. . .and who's story inspires generosity in readers with each new Christmas season.

Part of the Penguin Classics Hardcover Series, the fabric-bound, imprinted cover was designed by the acclaimed Coralie Bickford-Smith. A Christmas Carol features a pattern of snowflakes on a white background. Ribbon marker is also included. 336 pages, hardcover.

Publisher's Description

▼▲

Part of Penguin's beautiful hardback Clothbound Classics series, designed by the award-winning Coralie Bickford-Smith, these delectable and collectible editions are bound in high-quality colourful, tactile cloth with foil stamped into the design. After reading Christmas Carol, the notoriously reculsive Thomas Carlyle was "seized with a perfect convulsion of hospitality" and threw not one but two Christmas dinner parties. The impact of the story may not always have been so dramatic but, along with Dickens other Christmas writings, it has had a lasting and significant influence upon our ideas about the Christmas spirit, and about the season as a time for celebration, charity, and memory.
