No list of Christmas books will be complete without the classic tale of Ebenezer Scrooge. Endlessly adapted for modern times in movies, film and animation, Charles Dickens’ 1843 novella tells the story of the elderly miser, whose meanness and grouchy disposition made him widely hated, and coining the term “Bah, humbug!”. His tale begins on Christmas Eve, when he refuses a dinner with his nephew, and begrudgingly allows his one staff a day off for Christmas.
