a review of The Oxford Bookworms Library   


Another reader for my F.2. The storyline is simple. Scrooge is a miser who is not willing to spare a penny on anything or anyone for charity. He is mean to everyone: the poor people whom he loans money to, his neighbours, his employee, Bob and even to his nephew, Fred. Scrooge would say 'Humbug' to everyone who says 'Merry Christmas or Happy New Year' to him because he hates anything that is good or joyful.

Yet in the end, Scrooge finds there is more to life than just making money. After the visits of three Christmas ghosts, who shows him his past, present and future, he begins to realise his greed to get more and more money has been ruining his life and preventing him from opening the door to happiness...
