On Christmas Eve, the miserly Ebenezer Scrooge is visited by the ghost of his dead business partner, Jacob Marley, who warns him of three spirits still to come. Across one long night, the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Yet to Come lead Scrooge through his own life — and the lives of those around him — until he is forced to confront exactly what kind of man he has become. Published in 1843, Dickens's best-loved story invented much of the modern Christmas as we know it, and remains the definitive ghost story of the season.

Charles Dickens (1812-1870) leefde het grootste deel van zijn leven in Londen. Hij had al veel korte verhalen gepubliceerd toen hij beroemd werd met The Posthumus Papers of the Pickwick Club, dat eerst als feuilleton verscheen. Daarna volgden onder meer Oliver Twist, A Tale of Two Cities en David Copperfield. Hij is beroemd geworden vanwege zijn zogenaamde Dickensiaanse karakters en om zijn zorgvuldige intriges en expressieve stijl.
