The Annotated Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens
The greatest Christmas story is Dickens' A Christmas Carol. An ideal coupling for those Christmas evenings of Christmas journeys, this work presents a selection of words, stories, essays, poems and reflections. It features music by Britten Corelli and traditional carols.
"Such a delightful work.. overflowing with good nature and good will towards the humblest and most friendless of our race." -- William Cullen Bryant
"Who can listen to objections regarding such a book as this? It seems to me a national benefit, and to every man or woman who reads it, a personal kindness." -- William Makepeace Thackeray
"Read with satisfaction; presented with satisfaction, and many Christmas wishes." -- Thomas Carlyle
"I like and admire... the exquisite scenes about the clerk and Tiny [Tim]; I thank the writer in my heart of hearts for them." -- Elizabeth Barrett Browning
"The story sings from end to end like a happy man going home.... It is lyric and exclamatory, from the first exclamatory words of it. It is strictly a Christmas Carol." -- G.K. Chesteron
