A Christmas Carol

Ebenezer Scrooge is a mean, miserable, bitter old man with no friends. One cold Christmas Eve, three ghosts take him on a scary journey to show him the error of his nasty ways. By visiting his past, present, and future, Scrooge learns to love Christmas and the people all around him.

Author Notes

Charles Dickens, perhaps the best British novelist of the Victorian era, was born in Portsmouth, Hampshire, England on February 7, 1812. His happy early childhood was interrupted when his father was sent to debtors' prison, and young Dickens had to go to work in a factory at age twelve. Later, he took jobs as an office boy and journalist before publishing essays and stories in the 1830s.

His first novel, The Pickwick Papers, made him a famous and popular author at the age of twenty-five. Subsequent works were published serially in periodicals and cemented his reputation as a master of colorful characterization, and as a harsh critic of social evils and corrupt institutions. His many books include Oliver Twist, David Copperfield, Bleak House, Great Expectations, Little Dorrit, A Christmas Carol, and A Tale of Two Cities.

Dickens married Catherine Hogarth in 1836, and the couple had nine children before separating in 1858 when he began a long affair with Ellen Ternan, a young actress. Despite the scandal, Dickens remained a public figure, appearing often to read his fiction. He died in 1870, leaving his final novel, The Mystery of Edwin Drood, unfinished.

Publisher's Weekly Review

This innovative holiday outing-the kick-off to a series-integrates the complete text of Charles Dickens's Christmas classic with integrated seasonal recipes sampled from Giada de Laurentiis, Ina Garten, Martha Stewart, and Trisha Yearwood. Chapters-or "staves," as Dickens called them-feature recipes in different food categories: hors d'oeuvres and starters, entrAces, side dishes, and desserts. The traditional dishes, which are moderately difficult to execute, include stuffed mushrooms, roasted turkey breast, candied carrots, and cran-apple crisp. Culinary and textile designers Cherry and Hernando include photographs of objects crafted from food, which correlate to moments in Dickens's tale; Marley's face (as it appears on Scrooge's doorknob) is rendered in what resembles mashed potatoes, while Scrooge's grave is crafted from a crackerlike headstone, fallen snow that looks like feta cheese, and sprigs of rosemary for grass. Ornaments and other food-made decorative objects embellish the pages. A rich amalgam of culinary arts and classic literature. Also available: Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice. Ages 10-up.
