A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens, Lisbeth Zwerger dress up Gorgeous vintage illustrations by someA beloved Christmas title with illustrations from Hans Christian Andersen Award recipient Lisbeth Zwerger! Old miser Scrooge doesn't like Christmas. He'd rather spend his time making more money. But on Christmas Eve, he is visited by four apparitions . . . One of them is his late business partner and only friend, Marley. Marley makes it very clear to Scrooge that if he doesn't change and become a better person, he will forever suffer in the afterlife.
