A Christmas Carol (1843) by Charles Dickens 5 stars★ and a favorite♥A Christmas Carol has been a book I've been trying to read for the past few Christmases.  I'd start it, but then never finished it.  Third times was a charm.  I've finally finished it and am glad I read it.  It was a good read and now a favorite."For it is good to be children sometimes, and never better than at Christmas, when its mighty Founder was a child Himself."I really liked Charles Dickens's "Ghost of an Idea."  I've watched many different movies that have some form of this story.  I liked reading this just as much as watching one of the movie adaptions.  This was my first Dickens book that I've read.  His writing style in this was poetic I thought.  The story is short and broken off in Staves.  I think my favorite part was the description of Christmas Day activity during Stave Three: The Second of Three Spirits.I'll definitely be rereading this in the future and will try to read some of Dickens's other books too.  I enjoyed this free kindle illustrated version.  It was a nice touch to see the pictures that were made for this original tale.
