Book description:
Christmas is humbug, Scrooge says - just a time when you find yourself a year older and not a penny richer. The only thing that matters to Scrooge is business, and making money. But on Christmas Eve three spirits come to visit him. They take him travelling on the wings of the night to see the shadows of Christmas past, present, and future - and Scrooge learns a lesson that he will never forget.

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... 2007-05-01 03:29 | comment
