A Christmas Carol is one of the most famous, heart warming, and chilling festive stories of all time. We meet Ebenezer Scrooge here, whose name is synonymous with greed and parsimony: 'Every idiot who says 'Merry Christmas' should be boiled with his own pudding and buried with a holly stake in the heart.' On Christmas Eve, the ghost of his old partner, Jacob Marley, returns from the grave to haunt him. Three spirits visit Scrooge in turn, each revealing his error and gradually melting his frozen heart, leading him to redemption. Scrooge's journey takes us past a rich array of Dickensian characters, including the poor Cratchit family with ailing Tiny Tim and the generous Fezziwig. A Christmas Carol, written by Charles Dickens in 1843, captures the essence of the love, kindness, and generosity of the Christmas season. It is a timeless classic, and the story's uplifting magic is as powerful today as it was then.

I wanted a Rackham-illustrated edition of Christmas Carol, and though this would work. My error. I have no idea who "Chump Change Books" is, but their company name is about all they got right. This is cheesy, ugly, ill-composed with tiny print and the illustrations shoehorned into the pages.

perfect for the holidays
Like so many others, I've seen the Muppets version of this, but somehow, I'd never gotten around to reading it. Of course, when I found out that Tim Curry narrates this on Audible, I knew this was the year I'd finally rectify that. He narrated this classic tale so fantastically, and it's the way I would absolutely recommend consuming this book. I imagine it'll be a go to for now on during the holiday season.

Go for it
Books were in excellent condition. Dickens has always been a good Christmas story. Tells of times past that were hard times.

classic recording-book
This is a combo book and recording of a dramatization of Dicken's "A Christmas Carol" with a cast led by narrator Charles Laughton and orchestral music written by Frank Worth. When I was growing up we had an ancient copy of this with two 78 RPM records - it was scratchy but we loved listening to it and following along with the book and the beautiful artwork, every Christmas. It's abridged from the original, certainly, only about 16 minutes long, total (4 minutes a side!), but the emotion of Laughton's voice is the reason to listen to it. The reason I came across this listing was that I was transferring those old 78s to a CD, and was curious if it is available. This is the only reference to this recording I could find. This is a gem!
