Description
From the Back Cover
A Christmas Carol has been called “the most inspired” of Dickens’ writings, “the best Christmas anthem ever sung.” In this deeply moving story he has immortalized the spirit of the most beautiful, the most cheerful and the happiest of all our holidays. But more than that, this fanciful tale, immersed in the kindly good humor so characteristic of Dickens, carries an impassioned plea to humanity for charity, mercy and tolerance. Today, perhaps more than ever, we are desperately in need of the message of peace and good will conveyed by this “greatest little book in the world.”

Shipping
Generally sent the same day payment arrives. Unless you request otherwise, I will wrap the book in plastic wrap to help protect it from the elements, tightly sandwich it between pieces of cardboard, then wrap in brown paper to send via Media Mail with Delivery Confirmation tracking. See the shipping page for the cost to send a one-pound Media Mail package. Insurance is an additional cost as described. I am delighted to combine postage and insurance costs if you purchase more than one item. The second item may travel for free or just a few cents more — so it’s worth taking a look at my other items before you complete your order.
