Description
A Christmas Carol is Charles Dickens' touching fable about Ebenezer Scrooge's conversion from miserable penny -pincher to jovial benefactor. On Christmas Eve, Scrooge is visited by a series of ghosts who show him the error of his ways. With this story, Dickens captured the "spirit of benevolence" we now assume to be the essence of the Christmas Season, and immortalized both himself and his protagonist.
