Ebenezer Scrooge is a bad-tempered skinflint who hates Christmas and all it stands for, but a ghostly visitor foretells three apparitions who will thaw Scrooge's frozen heart. A Christmas Carol has gripped the public imagination since it was first published in 1843, and it is now as much a part of Christmas as mistletoe or plum pudding. This edition reprints the story alongside Dickens's four other Christmas Books: The Chimes, The Cricket on the Hearth, The Battle of Life, and The Haunted Man. All five stories show Dickens at his unpredictable best, jumbling together comedy and melodrama, genial romance and urgent social satire, in pursuit of his aim 'to awaken some loving and forbearing thoughts, never out of season in a Christian land'.

The Oxford World’s Classics is a lovely edition of A Christmas Carol; it also includes Dickens’ four other Christmas books:
The Chimes
The Cricket on the Hearth
The Battle of Life
The Haunted Man
The cover is beautiful as are the black and white illustrations inside.
This is one book I will look forward to reading year after year.
