pacavegano@bookwyrm.social reviewed A Christmas carol by Charles Dickens (Prestwick House literary touchstone classics)
it was a splendid laugh, a most illustrious laugh
5 stars
Though I am not religious, and do not celebrate Christmas, I have always loved this story. Whether you call it “the spirit of Christmas”, or simply kindness, generosity and love, Dickens does a marvelous job of stirring the heart to some of the best qualities any of us might possess. It had been a very long time since I had read this, and I had forgotten some of its humor, but well had I remembered its message, and this re-read disappointed not in the least.
