"A Christmas Carol & A Christmas Tree is a new edition of the two classic Christmas stories by Charles Dickens. The first story, A Christmas Carol, is a morality tale about Ebenezer Scrooge, an old contemptuous, penny-pinching man who undergoes a journey of redemption on Christmas Eve. He is visited by the ghost of his dead business partner, Jacob Marley, who warns him to change his miserly ways and tells him to expect three spirits: the Ghost of Christmas Past, the Ghost of Christmas Present and the Ghost of Christmas Yet To Come. Frightened by the visions they show him, he emerges on Christmas morning with a warm heart and good tidings for all. The second story, A Christmas Tree, is about an old man whose memories are stirred as he reminisces about the toys and gifts that have decorated his Christmas tree over the years. The book is illustrated by renowned Australian children's book author & illustrator Robert Ingpen."--Provided by publisher.
