A Christmas Carol: Part One
It’s Christmas Eve.... Jacob Marley has been dead for seven years exactly – when he returns to the world of the living to pay his old business partner a visit. Not that Ebeneezer Scrooge is in the mood for receiving guests. Still less for learning the lessons that Marley’s fellow spirits have in store for him. But one thing is certain: this is a Christmas that Scrooge will never forget.
