A picture book edition of a much-loved classic, with illustrations by award-winning artist, Robert Ingpen.
On Christmas Eve Ebenezer Scrooge is haunted by the ghost of his former business partner Jacob Marley, who warns him that he will be visited by three spirits. During the night, the ghosts of Christmas Past, Christmas Present and Christmas Yet to Come show Scrooge the scenes of his youth, the poverty-stricken Christmas currently being endured by his loyal clerk Bob Cratchitt and his crippled son Tiny Tim - and the lonely future that awaits him if he continues in his grasping ways. He awakes on Christmas morning changed by his experience, and resolves to be a better man.
Now retold in picture book form by Karen Saunders - with stunning artwork by Robert Ingpen.
