Format: OverDrive Kindle Book. HTML:<p>September 10, 2012<br /> Blake interprets Dickens’s Christmas classic with his characteristically droll ink-and-watercolor illustrations. The oversize format, large print, and combination of both spot art and full-page images create an accessible layout for those first becoming acquainted with the story. Blake’s loose style uses humor to temper the darker moments of Scrooge’s ghostly encounters: Jacob Marley resembles a disheveled version of The Simpsons’ Mr. Burns more than a frightening apparition. Yet his cloaked Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come honors Dickens’s silent figure “shrouded in a deep black garment,” which leads Scrooge to his eventual redemption. Ages 7–9.</p>. Publisher's Weekly. A beautiful edition of Dickens's timeless Christmas classic. A Christmas Carol is the book that defines the Christmas spirit. Ebenezer Scrooge, a mean-spirited miser, is visited by three ghosts one Christmas Eve. The ghosts show Scrooge the true value of Christmas: charity, good humour and love for his fellow man. Quentin Blake's colourful illustrations guide the reader through Scrooge's lively journey to find the meaning of Christmas. This unabridged edition contains a foreword by the illustrator and is the ultimate Christmas gift book. Classic Literature. Juvenile Fiction. Media Type: eBook.
