As expected, this week's Free Fridays Classics from B&N is the Barnes & Noble edition of A Christmas Carol and Other Christmas Stories, by Charles Dickens, Grace Moore. Unlike many of the earlier picks, this appears to be the first time this one has been free (at least, it wasn't in my library). In addition, Christian publisher Zondervan's More Stories Behind the Best-Loved Songs of Christmas, by Ace Collins, is free again today (although I don't know for how long).Book Description
"Bah Humbug!" That's how Ebeneezer Scrooge feels about Christmas--until the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Future decide to show the crotchety old miser the error of his ways. Together they travel through time, revisiting all the people who have played an important role in Scrooge's life.
Biography
Charles Dickens is probably the greatest novelist England ever produced. His innate comic genius and shrewd depictions of Victorian life -- along with his memorable characters -- have made him beloved by readers the world over. In Dickens' books live some of the most repugnant villains in literature, as well as some of the most likeable (and unlikely) heroes.
