A Christmas Carol and Other Christmas Writings

'Every idiot who goes about with "Merry Christmas" on his lips, should be boiled with his own pudding' Dickens's story of solitary miser Ebenezer Scrooge, who is taught the true meaning of Christmas by a series of ghostly visitors, has had an enduring influence on the way we think about the season. Dickens's other Christmas writings collected here include 'The Story of the Goblins who Stole a Sexton'; 'The Haunted Man'; and shorter pieces, some drawn from the 'Christmas Stories' that Dickens wrote annually for his weekly journals. In all of them Dickens celebrates Christmas as a time of geniality, charity and remembrance. Edited with an introduction by MICHAEL SLATER

I 1843 skrev Charles Dickens "Et juleeventyr", som siden sin udgivelse er blevet fortalt til mange børn i den søde juletid. "A Christmas Carol and Other Christmas Writings" indeholder denne fortælling og andre fine juleventyr, som alle har haft stor indflydelse på den gængse idé om juleånden og om tiden for fest, velgørenhed og erindring. "A Christmas Carol and Other Christmas Writings" er en meget fin samling af juleeventyr, som vil falde i både børn og voksnes smag. Når først denne bog er åbnet, vil julestemningen med sikkerhed brede sig i hele rummet.
