Perhaps the most beloved Christmas book of all time, Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol" tells the story of the miserly and miserable Ebenezer Scrooge, who is given one, final chance at redemption on Christmas Eve when he is visited by the ghost of his deceased business partner, Jacob Marley.  Scrooge will be guided by three Spirits- of Christmas Past, Present and Future - who will show the old miser the error of his ways.

Easily one of the most heralded and widely-adapted holiday stories ever created, "A Christmas Carol" is Dickens at his finest and most moving.  A must-read addition to any library.
