DESCRIPTION:
Don't BUY THIS BOOK I have several things to say about this. Charles Dickens is an excellent writer, but I ordered this for English class, and I could not use it. It says unabridged on the cover, but it is different from the original version. Also, there are supposed to be 5 chapters, but the publisher split them up incorrectly into just 3.

It has a plain cover, and it says that it is illustrated, but no illustrations came through on my Kindle. That's the book I re
In the history of English literature, Charles Dickens's A Christmas Carol, which has been continuously in print since it was first published in the winter of 1843, stands out as the quintessential Christmas story. Shinn, a well-known artist in his time, was a popular illustrator of newspapers and magazines whose work displayed a remarkable affinity for the stories of Charles Dickens, evoking the bustling street life of the mid-1800s. Printed on heavy, cream-colored paper stock, the edges of the pages have been left rough, sim
This is an *ABRIDGED* reading of A Christmas Carol. ''Every idiot who goes about with 'Merry Christmas' on his lips should be boiled with his own pudding,'' says Scrooge. Mean old Scrooge despises Christmas until Christmas Eve, when a haunted voice from the past changes his life - - overnight!. It is read by Paul Scofield and it is part of the 'Classics Read by Celebrities' audiobook series
