| Description: |
An attractive single-volume hardback edition of Dickens's classic Christmas story which also includes Dickens's four other Christmas Books and a selection of original illustrations. |
| Synopsis: |
Dickens's A Christmas Carol has gripped the public imagination since it was first published in 1843, and it is now as much a part of Christmas as mistletoe or plum pudding. It is a ghost story set at Christmastime in which a bad-tempered skinflint learns the error of his ways. Ebenezer Scrooge hates Christmas and all it stands for, but a ghostly visitor foretells three apparitions who will thaw Scrooge's frozen heart. This edition includes all the original illustrations for A Christmas Carol and reprints the story alongside Dickens's four other Christmas Books: The Chimes, The Cricket on the Hearth, The Battle of Life, and The Haunted Man. All five stories show Dickens at his unpredictable best, jumbling together comedy and melodrama, genial romance and urgent social satire, in pursuit of his aim 'to awaken some loving and forbearing thoughts, never out of season in a Christian land'. |

Viruses
Fear is a natural emotion and, however irrational, it can be rationalized for the little ones by showing its causes and methods of action. In this book, children will be explained what viruses are - a more-than ever actual topic, how they move and what behaviours help to limit their spreading.
