“It is a fair, even-handed, noble adjustment of things, that while there is infection in disease and sorrow, there is nothing in the world so irresistibly contagious as laughter and good humour.”

It was such a lovely read for this time of the year. I’m hoping to read more Christmassy books next year!

A nice short classic!
I can see myself reading this every Christmas as it’s a great reminder of what is important.

A little late on reading this Xmas themed book but it still felt festive.
I liked it. The last bit, after the spirits leave, was so infectiously joyous.

Surprisingly good short read. Hard to separate from all the stuff I already know about this one. And yet there's more in the book than I expected. It's written very flowery and detailed but still readable. I was not convinced that Scrooge's complete transformation overnight was warranted. But certainly he could easily afford to enjoy his own life more and share that with others. And the copy I read had pretty impressive art from Trina Schart Hyman - though I wished there was more.

La historia del viejo Scrooge no debe ser ajena a nadie. Bien sea por haber leído este libro o por haber visto alguna vez una de sus adaptaciones cinematográficas o teatrales.
En esta novela corta, Charles Dickens condena ma avaricia, el egoísmo y también la soledad.
Scrooge vive una vida amargada. Es inhumanamente avaro y no se permite contribuir con ninguna causa que no sea él mismo, para quien también puede ser miserable.
Dividida en 5 capítulos, Dickens logra que los espectros de las navidades pasadas, el de la Navidad presentes y el de las futuras abracen el corazón del lector y le hagan recapacitar sobre su propio actuar.
Esta emotiva historia, publicada en la época victoriana, ayudó a dar una nueva significancia a la Navidad.
Refuerza la importancia de dicha celebración para unir a la familia, ayudar a los pobres, agradecer por la vida y por el hecho de tener con quién compartirla.
Un cuento conmovedor, ideal para compartir con los más jóvenes por estas fechas
