If you are looking for a heartwarming story to get you into the Christmas spirit, then you will certainly enjoy reading A Christmas Carol. This classic tale by Charles Dickens tells the story of Ebenezer Scrooge, a wealthy but miserly man who is visited one Christmas Eve by three ghosts who teach him the error of his ways. The book has been adapted numerous times for stage and screen, and its message of holiday cheer and goodwill towards others is as relevant today as it was when it was first published in 1843.
