A haunted Christmas Eve that transforms a cold-hearted miser into a generous, redeemed man.
A Christmas Carol sweeps readers into fog-bound Victorian London and into the life of Ebenezer Scrooge, a stingy moneylender who has little patience for merriment or human warmth. On one cold Christmas Eve he is visited by a series of unexpected, otherworldly guests whose eerie revelations force him to confront his past, present, and future without yielding easy answers. Dickens mixes sharp social satire, unforgettable characters, and lyrical atmosphere into a compact, moving fable about memory, responsibility, and the possibility of change—an enduring seasonal tale that still stirs the heart and conscience.
