A Christmas Carol is commonly known for its movie counterpart, which is a classic Christmas movie. The original story, by Charles Dickens, has a quite similar plot. In this story, Ebenezer Scrooge, a wealthy and mean old man, lives in London during the 19th century.
It is a truly heartwarming story of redemption.
Ebenezer Scrooge is a greedy businessman who focuses only on making money. The story takes place on Christmas Eve, with Scrooge mistreating his employee and his family. Scrooge is a pitiful old man who needs to change his evil ways before it’s too late. His chance for repentance comes in a series of scary, paranormal occurrences.
A Christmas Carol, by Charles Dickens, was a very enjoyable novel to read. It was written a long time ago, which causes some small problems when reading. However, if you are mature enough to read the book, you definitely should.
