Description: At the close of 1843, to pay outstanding debts of his now lavish housekeeping, Dickens wrote this pioneer of Christmas numbers, the national benefit as Thackeray called it, A Christmas Carol. The book tells the story of Ebenezer Scrooge, an old miser who is visited by the ghost of his former business partner Jacob Marley and the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Yet to Come. After their visits Scrooge is transformed into a kinder, gentler man. A Christmas Carol is not a Christmas classics, it is THE Christmas classic of all time and one of the best tales ever written. *** The series "Large Print Reader's Choice" features classic books with a font size of at least 16 points.
