"When Charles Dickens wrote A Christmas Carol in 1843, he likely had no idea that the story and its main character, Ebenezer Scrooge, would remain so popular nearly two centuries later. Today, readers still find themselves entertained by the story of a grumpy, selfish man who becomes a holiday hero after he learns generosity through the help of three spirits in Victorian-era England. Whether a Dickens fan or someone in love with all things "Christmas," readers will enjoy learning the history of this memorable character and his many appearances on the page, the screen, and the stage in What Is the Story of Ebenezer Scrooge?"-- Provided by publisher.

Charles Dickens' classic tale of a miser who learns the true meaning of Christmas when he is visited by three ghosts on Christmas Eve.

Before the events of "A Christmas Carol" changed Ebenezer Scrooge's heart, there was Scrooge and Marley. The two men meet as youths, Ebenezer and Jacob, at the Professor Drabb's Academy for Boys. Soon Jacob begins turning the innocent Ebenezer's heart to extortion and ambition, and as the boys grow into men they develop a fledgling shipping business of dubious legality, dealing in the soon-to-be-outlawed slave trade. The only thing that could possibly save Scrooge's soul is the affections of his sister Fan's best friend, Belle Fairchild.

But on the night of Christmas Eve, he is visited by three ghosts who take him on a journey through his past, present, and future. His experience could change him forever and teach him the true meaning of Christmas!"--Back of cover.
