I've seen the movie and the stage production of the book several times and have read other Dickens' books, but had never read A Christmas Carol, so this year I decided it was time to rectify that. If I was going to read it, I wanted a beautiful, illustrated version to read, so I scoured the internet and found this one by illustrator Yelena Bryksenkova and it is perfect. Beautiful Illustrations, nice thick paper, good binding, and a ribbon place marker all at a pretty reasonable price! It was a joy to hold and read.
I'm not going to say a lot about the book--everyone pretty much knows the story! I enjoyed the book and was glad I took the time to read the book instead of just watching the movie. It is a great story to remind us to be kind to other people, to think of others, and to help those who need help. A good thing to keep in mind, especially at Christmas time.
