Presents in graphic novel format an adaptation of Dickens' story of a miser named Ebenezer Scrooge who learns the true meaning of Christmas when three ghostly visitors review his past and foretell his future.
Ebenezer Scrooge is a selfish, miserable old miser. The only thing he cares about is making money and keeping it. He despises the poor and the needy; and he hates Christmas as much as he hates laughter and kindness ... until one Christmas Eve when he gets a rude awakening to just how shallow and sad his life really is.
This timeless story was an immediate success for Charles Dickens when it was first published in 1843. Presented here as a full-color graphic novel, with sumptuous artwork, authentic settings and wonderful characters, this magical tale can be enjoyed afresh by readers of all ages!.
One Christmas Eve, after being particularly cruel to his employee, the miserly Ebenezer Scrooge is visited by the ghost of his dead business partner, Jacob Marley, who tells him that he will be visited by the ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, Future. Each ghost shows him things that rekindle the joy and spirit of Christmas within his heart and awaken his goodwill toward his fellow man. In typical fashion, Dickens deals with social injustice in a way that transcends the 19th century. This illustrated version of the classic holiday tale is brough to life with an illustrated Character List (like a Dramatis Personae), 134 pages of color story artwork, and fascinating support material that details the life and work of Charles Dickens as well as information on Victorian England.
