Synopsis

A snarling Victorian miser whose name would become synonymous with an utter lack of joy is the unlikely protagonist in Charles Dickens’ most famous tale, A Christmas Carol. Ebenezer Scrooge is visited on Christmas Eve by three Christmas spirits, each of whom has something to show the tight-fisted old grump about the miraculous nature – and dangerous absence – of love. This story is unique in that it is particularly well-suited for children during the holiday season, and it works on so many levels as a ghost story, a holiday fiction and a fairy tale, complete with a happy ending.
