# A Christmas Carol and Other Christmas Books: Introduction by Margaret Atwood - Hardcover

by **Charles Dickens** (Author), **Margaret Atwood** (Introduction by)

**A beautiful hardcover edition of the timeless story of everyone's favorite misanthrope, Ebenezer Scrooge, together with four more of Dickens's Christmas tales and with Arthur Rackham's classic illustrations. With an introuduction by Margaret Atwood.**

No holiday season is complete without the story of tightfisted Mr. Scrooge, of his long-suffering and mild-mannered clerk, Bob Cratchit, of Bob's kindhearted lame son, Tiny Tim, and of the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Future.

First published in 1843, _A Christmas Carol_ was republished in 1852 in a new edition with four other Christmas stories--_The Chimes, The Cricket on the Hearth, The Battle of Life,_ and _The Haunted Man._ These beloved tales revived the notion of the Christmas "spirit"--and have kept it alive ever since.
