Well, it took less than a day for me to finish this endearing piece of literature. And as much as the book is like a simple adage, introduction-story-denouement, it is all about how Dickens goes on with his infallible style of his character description. Going into the story, Ebenezer Scrooge is a morose, irritable curmudgeon who mostly keeps to himself and wouldn't bestow a trifle of happiness on others. If anything, he likes to rob others of their joyous moods. With the Christmas eve at hand, many a person come to him for wishing Merry Christmas but gets turned away. Scrooge lives in a little bleak house where the Ghost of his long-gone deceased partner, Jacob Marley, visits him and informs him he would be visited by Three other ghosts. And what things the ghosts show him, which places they take him, to get the old man a glimpse of how the world perceives a Christmas eve; and how it looks down upon a stingy old man who wouldn't care twopence for anyone when he had lived. A rather heart-warming tale about the blithe way everyone regards those around him/her on Christmas Eve. I have read Dickens before. But this tale just settles into the grooves of my heart with a beautiful presence. Some lines, as always in a Dickens novel, stayed with me and will stay for long.
