A grumpy old man is forced to reconsider his distaste for Christmas when three ghosts visit him on Christmas Eve. Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol is a timeless classic for readers of all ages. Summary of the Book Ebenezer Scrooge didn’t like Christmas. Ever since the death of his business partner, Marley, he has hated Christmas even more. There’s nothing he feels thankful for and, frankly, he thinks the holidays is a waste of working hours. He refuses to greet anyone for the holidays and keeps uttering the phrase “bah! humbug!” to sound his distaste. However, he is about to learn that the Christmas spirit is about to seize him, whether he wants it to or not. On Christmas Eve, the ghost of his friend, Marley, visits him to warn him to change his cruel ways. He ignores the apparition and its warning, only to be visited by three other ghosts. And these new ghosts aren’t quite as well-wishing as Marley’s spirit was. They will show Scrooge what it will cost him if he keeps on being, well, a Scrooge!
