A Christmas Carol

The best thing Dickens ever wrote!

A Christmas Carol has always been a favorite holiday tradition of mine; Scrooge's line at the end regarding the people we always hoped we would be is very personal and it resonates meaningfully in my life.

A Christmas Carol has always been a favorite holiday tradition of mine; Scrooge's line at the end regarding the people we always hoped we would be is very personal and it resonates meaningfully in my life. This edition is the most attractive, affectionate edition I've encountered to date. The illustrations are carefully considered - charismatic - and abundant: barely a page goes by that isn't adorned with some manner of graphic illumination. As far as I'm concerned, this is THE edition of this story to own and share with...anyone worthy. A keepsake quality edition.   hide

all time favourite - hope

My all time fav

an excellent read instilled with Christian values...compassion and humility is everything...you can have all the money in the world...but if you have not love, then you are nothing! what a message, and one that i think we too often forget!

I read this book for the first time, and I love it! It has such a good message. Charity, love, and friendship is the real reason we are here in our mortal journey. You don't need money to have joy. Real happiness comes by reaching out to those around us and trying to impact their lives for the better.

We have to annotate it for English sooo it might have been better if we read it without having to annotate it...

Christmas season is here again. Time to forget the crass commercialism and enjoy the feelings of warmth (in winter :)) and love the christmas evokes in us. Nothing like "A Christmas Carol" to get in the mood. I am still waiting for the ghost of the christmas past. (Note to ghost: Don't surprise me, make a proper entrance and please don't wear white)

A classic. I love this story.
