Exam board: AQA, Edexcel, Eduqas, WJECLevel & Subject: GCSE English LiteratureFirst teaching: September 2015First examination: June 2017 This edition of A Christmas Carol is perfect for GCSE-level students: it comes complete with the novel, plus an introduction providing context, and a glossary explaining key terms. 'If I could work my will,' said Scrooge, indignantly, 'every idiot who goes about with "Merry Christmas" on his lips, should be boiled with his own pudding, and buried with a stake of holly through his heart.' Miser and misanthropist Ebenezer Scrooge hates the festive season. Can the visitations of his dead business partner Jacob Marley and the spirits of Christmas past, present and yet to come shake him from his habits, to show him the true value of Christmas? Dickens's 1843 story was written in response to the plight of the poor, the hungry, the exploited and the uneducated in Victorian society, suggesting that the true test of a society is the way it treats its children.
A miserly old man is visited at night by a ghostly spirit who foretells of three apparitions that will come to help him embrace the true spirit of Christmas. In doing so, Dickens introduces us to the characters of Ebeneezer Scrooge, Bob Cratchit and Tiny Tim - all of whom have now become synonymous with the festive season.Although suitable for every reader, this edition of Dicken's timeless classic is particularly well-suited to students studying A Christmas Carol for their GCSE in English Literature. Here, the larger font size will make reading the text a more comfortable experience. Perhaps even more helpfully, wider margins and a blank sheet after each chapter provide useful extra space for students (and teachers) to add their own explanatory notes and points for further thought.
