Dickens choses a coldChristmas Eve to unravel his Christmas tale, one in which he depicts in a mostunique manner one of world literature’s most iconic characters, that ofEbenezer Scrooge.  “A Christmas Carol,”first published in December 1845, was greeted with enthusiasm.  From that day forward, it has been read andloved as few other classic texts have. Its timeless and opportune message powerfully emerges through theexcellent translation of Maria Aggelidou and the inspiring illustrations of P.J. Lynch.
