He rejects a dinner invitation from his jolly nephew, scolds charity workers, and \u0026lt;i\u0026gt;very\u0026lt;\/i\u0026gt; begrudgingly allows his clerk a day off. All the warmth and joy of the holiday are humbug to Scrooge until Jacob Marley, his long-dead business partner, pays a call. Marley's spirit is the first in a series of ghostly visitors who offer visions of the past, present, and future — warnings that transform a bitter old miser into a charitable and compassionate man.\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;First published in 1843, \u0026lt;i\u0026gt;A Christmas Carol\u0026lt;\/i\u0026gt; was an instant success and has remained a holiday favorite ever since. The story has been adapted many times for stage and screen, but no version surpasses the sheer delight of Charles Dickens's original novella. As much a part of the season as holly, mistletoe, and evergreen wreaths, this immortal tale continues to charm readers with its message of generosity and goodwill.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Phoenix Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47081186033833,"sku":"PHBK-9780486817965","price":5.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0578\/9899\/1785\/files\/8429463482361.jpg?v=1779739327","url":"https:\/\/myti.com\/products\/needs-metadata-9780486817965","provider":"Myti","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
