Ebenezer Scrooge hates everyone and everything. Especially children. Especially Christmas. He's greedy, wealthy, and cold-hearted, which has harrowed his features, giving him a pointy nose and thin, blue lips. On Christmas Eve, Scrooge is visited by the spirits of Christmas Past, Present, and Yet to Comeβ€”but can they make him change his ways?

A Christmas Carol is a novella by Charles Dickens. It was first published on 19 December 1843, and the first edition had sold out by Christmas Eve. The story of the redemption of Ebenezer Scrooge has only continued to grow in popularity since then, and it is now one of the most widely known stories in the world.

About the Author

Charles Dickens was born in 1812 in Portsmouth, though he spent much of his life in Kent and London. A prolific writer, Dickens kept up a career in journalism as well as writing short stories and novels, with much of his work being serialised before being published as books. He gave a view of contemporary England with a strong sense of realism, yet instilled his stories with a sense of charm, fantastic characters and humour like no other. He continued to work himself hard up until his death in 1870, leaving 'The Mystery of Edwin Drood' unfinished.

Judith JohnΒ (glossary) is a writer and editor specializing in literature and history. She has worked as an editor on major educational projects, including English A: Literature for the Pearson International Baccalaureate series. Judith’s major research interests include Romantic and Gothic literature, and Renaissance drama.
