Charles Dickens (1812 - 1870) was one of England's greatest writers, and A Christmas Carol shows us why. This holiday classic succinctly yet beautifully depicts the powerful transformation of a lonely and bitter old man into one who—in the true spirit of Christmas—embraces a renewed sense of joy in life and all it has to offer.

Dickens writes about the London he lived in, bringing to life the miserable living conditions of the poor and highlighting the injustices of the time. But the core of the story transcends its setting and resonates deep within the human soul. Truly a timeless story, loved by people of all ages.

Maria Berg's thirty delightful, full-colour illustrations bring A Christmas Carol to life in a way you will love, making this special edition a book to treasure and share with family and friends. Experience Scrooge, Tiny Tim, and the Christmas Spirits as never before!

About the Author

Charles Dickens (1812 - 1870) was one of England's greatest writers. Dickens writes about the London he lived in, bringing to life the miserable living conditions of the poor and highlighting the injustices of the time. Maria Berg is a portrait and figurative artist living in Hanau, Germany, the original home of the Brothers Grimm. For as long as she can remember, Maria has lived on stories and fairy tales, and they have informed her understanding of herself and her life's journey. Her goal as an artist is to reflect and reveal the beauty of life through images that touch the heart and inspire the viewer to seek beyond that which is seen. For this purpose she dedicates herself not only to the act of painting itself, but equally to studying nature and the great works of art offered by history. Maria is a graduate the National University of Arts in Bucharest, Romania, and has accomplished more than 150 portraits, many of which now reside in private collections throughout the world.
