A Christmas Carol

Author- Charles Dickens
Movie Adaptation- Jim Carrey, 2009

 A Christmas Carol is the eight book of of the Victorian Period author Charles Dickens. The Protagonist of the story in Mr. Ebenezer Scrooge who is dead set against Christmas. 

              The book contains Five Staves The book starts on the day of Christmas eve when Scrooge's dead companion, Jacob Marley's ghost visits him. Jacob tells him about how he is feeling and also tells him about the Christmas Ghosts. Then Scrooge is visited by the three Christmas Ghosts- The Ghost of Christmas Past, The Ghost of Christmas Present and The Ghost of Christmas Yet To Come. These ghosts show him Christmas scenes which dramatically change Scrooge's view about Christmas. The best thing I liked about the book was the style in which it was written. Even though the book is small, the reader will surely be taken to the world of Christmas. A movie of the book has also been made and was released in 2009.
