I received a copy of this book. Having never read A Christmas Carol I found it interesting. No matter which adaptation of it you’ve watched on television or in the movies you’ll find it interesting to read the original that started it all. The book is full of explanations about the story that are very interesting. The only thing I wish is that the book was a little larger – there’s a lot of information in there besides the book and a larger size would make it easier to read.
WIN IT!
