Trade ReviewThe cheerful poverty of the Cratchit family in A Christmas Carol, is a sure-fire tear-jerker. At one public reading by Dickens in Boston, there were "so many pocket handkerchiefs it looked as if a snowstorm had gotten into the hall" * Sunday Express *
It has it all: a spooky ghost story, a heartwarming redemption and a great plot with a satisfyingly happy ending * The Times *
A story which, perhaps more than any other, sums up the spirit of the British Christmas * Sunday Telegraph *
One of the great achievements of British culture -- D.J. Taylor
But that story endures and retains the power to move us because it speaks to the human heart, and gives us hope when hope is fading -- Tony Parsons * Mirror *
