Answer 2

A Christmas Carol in Prose, by Charles Dickens, although set "once upon a time", can be placed in the 1830's, in and around London, England.
The main character of the story is Ebenezer Scrooge, a cold, miserly, busimessman who has shut himself off from all human warmth and compassion for his fellow-beings.
On a frosty Christmas Eve, Scrooge is visited by the ghost of his former friend and partner, who is bound by chains and padlocks, weighted down with money-purses, accounting ledgers and symbols of business. The ghost warns Scrooge that his soul is in peril because of his distance from humanity, and that because of their friendship, Scrooge has a chance of redeeming himself---but to do so, he must be haunted by three special spirits, the Ghosts of Christmas: Past, Present and Christmas Yet to Come. Scrooge is terrified at the prospect, but has little say in the matter.
The balance of the book is given over to the visits of the three Spirits of Christmas, who, respectively, show Scrooge his own past and reawaken his memories of love and compassion and show him the happiness he might have had, the power and joy of the simple pleasures of family and giving at Christmas time, from the poorest folk to the loneliest of men and women---and finally, a vision of what might happen if Scrooge does not change his outlook and actions--death, misery and waste, not only to Scrooge, but those around him.
The last chapter of the book shows Scrooge's awakening on Christmas morning, alive, redeemed, and fully understanding and accepting the lessons the Spirits have taught him--and then joyously acting on his new understanding.

This short summary is just bare bones---the real joy of this book is in the actual reading of it---it's a short book, easily understood, and written with love and skill. Give yourself some time this season and read it to yourself---it is a gift that you will treasure, Christmas after Christmas.

Answer 3

Scrooge is mean and tight fisted with his money. He lives and works in London sometime long ago, maybe 100 years or so. He works his poor employee Bob Cratchit to the bone. Bob Cratchit has a small son Tiny Tim who is disabled and not getting enough food or medical attention.

Scrooge goes to sleep on Christmas eve, has a dream where his old business partner Marley appears and shows him how happy he was when he was young (Christmas past), what a jerk he is to Bob Cratchit and others today (Christmas present), and what a lonely life he will lead in the future if he keeps this up (Christmas future).

He wakes up. He's relieved it's still Christmas morning in Christmas present and that he still has a chance to be a nice guy. He gushes over with generosity, including medical help for Tiny Tim. Life is good.

The end.

Answer 4

Nasty old miser's counting house - Scrooge.
Nice hard working undervalued father Bob Scratchit in his office.
Christmas with no money.
Crippled lad - Bob's son - Tiny Tim.
Scrooge sees ghosts when in bed from past, present and possible future. Nasty things may await him for being so mean.
Decides to change ways and takes lots of goodies to Bob, missus and tiny Tim's.
All had a Very Merry Christmas and Scrooge became a nice guy in case that nasty future came true if he didn't.
Why the Dickens did it take Dickens so many pages to write his version?

Answer 5

How about you read the story and use your brain to get the plot and setting yourself? Or would that be too much of an inconvenience?
