Today we are reading Сharles Dickens’s book «A Christmas Carol». «A Christmas Carol in Prose, Being a Ghost Story of Christmas», commonly known as «A Christmas Carol», is a novella first published in London in 1843 and illustrated by John Leach. «A Christmas Carol» is the most famous, heart-warming and chilling festive story. In these pages we meet Ebenezer Scrooge, whose name is synonymous with greed. This attitude is soon challenged when the ghost of his old partner, Jacob Marley, returns from the grave to haunt him on Christmas Eve. Scrooge is then visited in turn by three spirits of Christmas Past, Present and Future, each one revealing the error of his ways and gradually melting the frozen heart of this old miser, leading him towards his redemption. When Charles Dickens wrote «A Christmas Carol» in 1843 he fashioned an enduring gift to the world, capturing the essence of the love, kindness and generosity of the Christmas season. It is a timeless classic and the story's uplifting magic remains as potent
