This is a beautiful edition of the timeless Christmas classic. "A Christmas Carol" is the book that defines the Christmas spirit - literally.

The ghosts (of Christmas Past, Christmas Present and Christmas Yet to Come) show Scrooge the true value of Christmas - charity, good humour and love for his fellow man.Quentin Blake's joyous illustrations, full of colour and fun, guide the reader through the lively (and occasionally scary) journey to find the meaning of Christmas. This unabridged edition contains a forward by the illustrator and is the ultimate Christmas gift book.This book is illustrated by one of the popular artists working today. It is a great gift for the season of giving.
