Dickens's classic tale centres on bad-tempered miser, Ebenezer Scrooge. A cold Christmas Eve finds him in his counting-house, refusing offers to join in festive merriment and forcing his long-suffering clerk, Bob Cratchit to work in freezing conditions.'Bah! Humbug!' Mr Scrooge is a squeezing, wrenching, grasping, scraping, clutching, miserable old man. Nobody stops him in the street to say a cheery hello; nobody would dare ask him for a favour. And I hope you'd never be so foolish as to wish him a 'Merry Christmas'! Scrooge doesn't believe in Christmas, charity, kindness - or ghosts. But one cold Christmas Eve, Scrooge receives some unusual visitors who show him just how very mistaken he's been...
