In this stunning full colour abridged illustrated edition of Charles Dickens’ classic, the story is brought to life for a younger readership with all the sparkle and pazzazz of a West End show. 'Bah,' said Scrooge, 'Humbug.' Old Ebenezer Scrooge is too mean to spend money on coals for the fire in his counting-house, where his clerk Bob Cratchit shivers in the winter cold. Declining an invitation to his nephew Fred’s Christmas party, and refusing to give money to charity, he is ready for his usual miserly Christmas in his cold, dingy apartment. But that night, the ghost of his dead partner Jacob Marley appears and tells him to expect a visit from three spirits over the next three nights . . .
