The new Laureate na nOg P.J. Lynch captures the spirit of Dickens's
beloved tale in a richly illustrated, unabridged paperback edition. A
Christmas Carol has become as much a part of Christmas as trees,
stockings and mistletoe.
Ireland's new Children's Laureate P.J.
Lynch breathes new life into Dickens's classic ghostly tale for this
magnificent paperback edition. Ebenezer Scrooge is a mean old skinflint,
and our story opens on a Christmas Eve as cold as his heart.
In
the dead of night, Scrooge is visited by the tormented ghost of his old
friend Jacob Marley. Having led a selfish, miserly life, Marley can
find no peace in death: his spirit has wandered the earth for seven
years. To avoid the same fate, Scrooge sets off on a hair-raising
journey through his past, present and future.
Will he see the
error of his ways before it's too late? First published in 1843, P.J.
Lynch's detailed and atmospheric artwork for this lavish, unabridged
edition conjures up Dickensian London and its inhabitants with
breathtaking immediacy.
