Curl up with ultimate beloved Christmas classic!

‘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…
