Short Story
A Christmas Carol
- abridged by Joan Collins from the original by Charles Dickens
- (Ladybird Books, 1982)
The tale is a somewhat faithful retelling for children, abridge to about a third of the original length, in simple language, and with copious illustrations by Chris Russell. It even retains the metaphysical thought that the future will be bleak for Tiny Tim if things remain unchanged. —Michael Main
If these shadows do not change, Tiny Tim will not see another Christmas.
