This timeless classic by Charles Dickens has had many renditions and adaptations of Ebenezer Scrooge's transition from miserly and miserable to giving and generous, through a Christmas Eve visit from three spirits: Christmas Past, Present and Future. This is Bernadine Stetzel's adaptation. Mrs. Stetzel elegantly illustrates over a hundred pages in her detail oriented, American-primitive style of painting. The text is hand printed by Mrs. Stetzel in a lovely readable fashion which adds personal charm to her adaptation of this immortal tale.
