Description
Foreword from National Book Award Finalist and a Newbery Honor Book Winner Kathi Appelt
On Christmas Eve in 19th century London, miserly Ebenezer Scrooge is haunted by the ghost of his dead business partner, Jacob Marley, who warns him that three spirits will visit him to show him the future that awaits him if he continues in his ways. He is visited by the ghosts of Christmas Past, Christmas Present, and Christmas Future in order to help him change his ways.
Gorgeously designed and illustrated with atmospheric, luscious art, this special edition of A Christmas Carol will become a family treasure.
With both a new 2026 film adaptation starring Johnny Depp and Lisa Aisato’s illustrated book releasing, this timeless tale finds fresh, modern, and atmospheric expression.

"This brand new adaptation, the one you’re holding in your hands, comes at the exact moment that we need it most … thanks to AnnMarie Anderson’s tender touch with the text, and Lisa Aisato’s beautiful illustrations, [this] is a book that begs to be read out loud, and viewed at the same time."
—Kathi Appelt, author of the Newbery Honoree, National Book Award finalist, and bestselling The Underneath as well as the National Book Award finalist The True Blue Scouts of Sugar Man Swamp, Maybe a Fox (with Alison McGhee), Keeper, and many picture books including Counting Crows and Max Attacks.

How to review a classic? My absolute favorite holiday story, I read and view all versions - and yes, I know you do too. The art is an incredible addition to the timeless text - all I can say is enjoy!

The moment I opened this book, I was struck with how utterly stunning this was! There were many things that drew me to this (& the fact that I will consume A Christmas Carol in all its endless editions and adaptations endlessly) it makes it an absolute essential and I was blown away.
I had this as an ebook but I could just imagine the feel of the pages and seeing the beautiful illustrations in such great detail was wonderful. I read this at the start of the ‘ber months and my partner was glancing at this book over my shoulder and had his beedy eyes on it. He already covets a copy and I think I too may need this as a physical copy for Christmas.
The writing is just so vivid and truly brings a Victorian Christmas to life. It’s so atmospheric and coupled with the artwork too, really makes this book such an enjoyable reading experience.
Great on all accounts and I think many will be enjoying this in December on the run up to Christmas - it’s certainly worth a read.
