A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens
5.0
This isn’t a new read for me. I always like to start December by reading A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens.
I feel everyone knows this story but in case you don’t. A Christmas Carol is about Ebenezer Scrooge who is a greedy horrible man who cannot stand Christmas. But all that changes when the ghost of his long-dead business partner, Jacob Marley, visits him.
Marley warns Scrooge to change his ways and says he will be visited by 3 ghosts. Of Christmas Past, Present and Future.
Will Scrooge change his ways?
For me, this is a classic Christmas tale that goes towards showing the true meaning of the festive season. Although I re-read this every year, I decided to pop it in this year’s monthly reading wrap-up. I feel more people have watched movie or tv adaptations than read the book.
In my opinion, the book conveys so much more emotion and because of when it was written, the writing style emphasises the Victorian period. 5 Stars.
