A Christmas carol

YA. These titles offer a quick way into a range of exciting classic stories. Shortened versions of well-known novels, these books lose nothing in terms of the flavour of the original editions, but they do make the texts more accessible for less-able readers and students for whom English is a second language. Suitable for 12-16 year olds. A Christmas Carol: Scrooge is an old miser who lives alone in his cold house by night and torments his assistant at work by day. One evening just before Christmas he is visited by the ghost of his old business partner - a ghost with a very important warning.
