Approximately two dozen illustrations featured with the classic tale, in a distinct, almost watercolor-type style. For me they neither added or detracted from the story, but those who appreciate art more than I do may find them interesting.

Many thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review.

As a HUGE fan of Christmas, and in particular a fan of ''A Christmas Carol'', I highly, highly, recommend this beautiful new edition. I wish I had a physical copy in my hands too!

This is the classic story in fusion with beautiful, watercolour illustrations by Hans Christian Andersen Award recipient Lisbeth Zwerger. Looking through this, I got the impression that she told the tale through her use of colours and techniques. I'm by no means an expert in illustrating, so I won't be able to properly describe what and how it's done, but each illustration helps bring the atmosphere of the characters and situations to life. The way Scrooge is depicted and the colours she uses for him, are in total opposite of what she does for other characters. You can exactly tell which characters are good, kind, lovely, and which are...not so much.

Once again, this is the classic story (which I've read so many times, and watched all kinds of renditions of it, even the Muppet Christmas Carol, which is one of my faves.), but in an edition that would stand out proudly on anyone shelf.

I will, without a doubt, be going through this one, again, again and again.

A Christmas Carol by Lewis Carroll is a classic for a reason. Not only a meaningful read for children, but a meaningful one for adults. This book tells the classic story of the grumpy Ebenezer Scrooge who is visited by three ghosts in order to find happiness and find the joy of Christmas.

The illustrations by Lisbeth Zwerger are beautiful and this is a great edition to give children for the holiday season. Highly recommend this book for Christmastime!

I received this book free from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Aw it reminded of my childhood but in colors. This was something that mom and I used to read when I was a kid so seeing it now in colors made me nostalgic. I am yearning for the time when my kid would already appreciate things like this.
