The Carol is only 106 pages and it was fun to read it straight through. The other two stories are less memorable. Zeige 5 von 5 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

An immediate bestseller when it was first published in December 1843, A Christmas Carol has endured ever since as a perennial Yuletide favorite. Charles Dickens's beloved tale about the miserly Ebenezer Scrooge, who comes to know the meaning of kindness, charity, and goodwill through a haunting Christmas Eve encounter with four ghosts, is a heartwarming celebration of the spirit of Christmas. This Modern Library Paperback Classics edition also includes two other popular Christmas stories by Dickens: "The Chimes," in which a man, persuaded by hypocritical cant that the poor deserve their misery, is shown what his pessimistic resignation might lead to in a vision conjured by the pealing of bells, and "The Haunted Man," Dickens's last Christmas tale, which features one of his great comic families, the Tetterbys.

The particular edition I read included 2 other short stories by Dickens which weren't quite of the same caliber as "A Christmas Carol", which is easily worth a full 4 stars. ( )
