A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens

4.0

Everyone knows the story A Christmas Carol, whether it's through the muppets, Bill Murray or one of the many Dickens adaptations. A couple of years ago I saw a fantastic stage production in the round. Since then I have been itching to read the source material. Scrooge is a fantastic character that you love to hate. But what is more, his transformation into the scared ghost companion and finally into the changed man is what makes this story. My heart beamed as he grew and in his excitement bought the biggest turkey he could was a pleasure to read. I particularly love the description that Dickens uses. The Cratchit house came to life in my imagination, as did the different spirits that visited Scrooge over the night. This is definitely worth a read, even more so at Christmas and reminds us that a little kindness and thoughtfulness goes a long way. God bless us every one!
