3.5

The particular edition I read included 2 other short stories by Dickens which weren't quite of the same caliber as "A Christmas Carol", which is easily worth a full 4 stars. ( )

This book contains two other Christmas themed novellas besides the author's most famous work. The Haunted Man is a darker and more subtle take on the topic than A Christmas Carol. ( )

I feel somehow compelled to read A Christmas Carol every December. Enough said. ( )

4093 A Christmas Carol and Other Stories [The Chimes; The Cricket on the Hearth] by Charles Dickens (read 13 Nov 2005) Since I have a plan to read all of Dickens and since this book shows up on some 'best books' lists I decided to read it, even tho I have read parts of it often. The Carol is only 106 pages and it was fun to read it straight through. The other two stories are less memorable. ( )
