You're right, the adaptations lose the driving message behind A CHRISTMAS CAROL.

It's on my life-changing "short list" and it's one of those I wish everyone would read because, while I love the adaptations, I feel like the larger social issues Dickens addresses usually get left out and Scrooge gets made so much worse than he is in the text--probably to keep viewers at a comfortable distance from the old misanthrope.<br /><br />P.S. Nice top hat!Courtney McKinney-Whitakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10251306522999532890noreply@blogger.com
