A Christmas Carol Description: I have endeavoured in this Ghostly little book, to raise the Ghost of an Idea, which shall not put my readers out of humour with themselves, with each other, with the season, or with me. May it haunt their houses pleasantly, and no one wish to lay it. Their faithful Friend and Servant, C.D. December, 1843. And so it began. With those words, Charles Dickens laid pen to paper to create one of the most cherished holiday tales ever told. And now, Morningstar Entertainment has given this family favourite the restoration treatment it rightly deserves.
