Charles Dickens' A CHRISTMAS CAROL is a timeless, heart-warming, often hilarious, sometimes thrilling tale of redemption and triumph of the spirit. On Christmas Eve in Victorian London, crotchety miser Ebenezer Scrooge is visited by the ghost of his dead partner Jacob Marley. Scrooge is told that what they do in life will determine what happens to them in the afterlife. Chained and miserable, Marley tells Scrooge that his only chance of escaping the same fate is through the visits of three ghosts. The first spirit, the Ghost of Christmas Past, shows Scrooge that he was once a happy young man, carefree and in love but his worship of money destroyed the course of his life. The Ghost of Christmas Present shows him how others, including his nephew Fred and his clerk Bob Cratchit, view his life. The Ghost forces Scrooge to see himself as he truly is; hated, feared and loved by nearly on one. The Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come shows Scrooge the fate that awaits him. Scrooge learns from his visits and changes himself from a miserly wretch, into "as good a friend, as good a master, and as good a man, as the good old city ever knew".
