Synopsis
A CHRISTMAS CAROL is Dickens's tender and comic tale of the Cratchit family, Tiny Tim, and Ebenezer Scrooge--a favorite since it was written in 1843. Badly in need of money, Dickens produced A CHRISTMAS CAROL in six weeks; the first printing of 6,000 copies sold out instantly. In Dickens's original version, Tiny Tim was Tiny Fred, and Scrooge said "Bah!" but not "Humbug!" A miser learns the true meaning of Christmas when three ghostly visitors review his past and foretell his future. Illustrated notes throughout the text explain the historical background of the story.

Publisher Notes
From the opening words of Dickens, "Marley was dead", to the closing, Tiny Tim's "God bless us, every one", here is the text of Charles Dickens--not rewritten or revised--but only, because of its length, abridged from the original 1843 edition. A three-page biography of Dickens tells of the author's life and his inspiration for writing this most beloved of seasonal classics.
