THE STORY
A Christmas Carol is the best known and best loved of Dickens’s Christmas Books, and the story of the miser Scrooge’s redemption has become as much part of the Christmas tradition as plum pudding and carols themselves.

Dickens will make you laugh and make you cry as you follow Scrooge’s supernatural adventures on Christmas Eve…
