‘If I could work my will,’ said Scrooge, indignantly, ‘every idiot who goes about with “Merry Christmas” on his lips, should be boiled with his own pudding, and buried with a stake of holly through his heart.’
Miser and misanthropist Ebenezer Scrooge hates the festive season. Can the visitations of his dead business partner Jacob Marley and the spirits of Christmas past, present and yet to come shake him from his habits, to show him the true value of Christmas?
Dickens’s 1843 story was written in response to the plight of the poor, the hungry, the exploited and the uneducated in Victorian society, suggesting that the true test of a society is the way it treats its children.

This was bought for a child that needed it for their English Lesson. The book is fine and decent quality.
When adding ink to the pages for note taking ink bleeds a bit but that’s only if you’re gonna write on the book for classroom notes.
Other than that, the book is great and would recommend.

My son had not read the text but only seen film adaptations.
It was a great experience for him to read the text and understand more of the piece.
