Critics Review
“It has it all: a spooky ghost story, a heartwarming redemption and a great plot with a satisfyingly ending.” – The Times
The cheerful poverty of the Cratchit family in A Christmas Carol, is a sure-fire tear-jerker. At one public reading by Dickens in Boston, there were “so many pocket handkerchiefs it looked as if a snowstorm had gotten into the hall”—Sunday ExpressIt has it all: a spooky ghost story, a heartwarming redemption and a great plot with a satisfyingly happy ending—The TimesA story which, perhaps more than any other, sums up the spirit of the British Christmas—Sunday TelegraphOne of the great achievements of British culture—D.J. TaylorBut that story endures and retains the power to move us because it speaks to the human heart, and gives us hope when hope is fading—Tony Parsons, MirrorA little masterpiece…irresistible—Sunday ExpressAfter 150 years still have the power to fascinate readers—Contemporary ReviewBeautifully written and this re-designed cover is stunning—Devon Life
