The tale of the solitary miser Ebenezer Scrooge, who is taught the true meaning of the season by a series of ghostly visitors and given a second chance, was conjured up by Dickens during one of his London night walks, who &#8216;wept and laughed&#8217; as he composed it. Taken to readers&#8217; hearts for its humor, compassion and message of redemption, it remains his best-loved book.<\/p>\n<a href=\" http:\/\/englishbookgeorgia.com\/catalogue\/shop\/christmasgifts\/a-christmas-carol\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"button small blue\">Buy the Book<\/a>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With\u00a0A Christmas Carol,\u00a0Charles Dickens created a modern fairy tale and &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2890,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[731],"tags":[284,142,271,283,43,1119,982,1121,499,182,1117,498,188,1124,1123,1120,1122,1118],"class_list":["post-2889","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-whichbookwouldyouread-bookoftheweek-themes-themeoftheweek-quotes-inspirationalquotes","tag-a-christmas-carol","tag-book","tag-book-of-the-week","tag-charles-dickens","tag-christmas","tag-compassion","tag-december-2014","tag-ebenezer-scrooge","tag-england","tag-english-book-in-georgia","tag-ghosts","tag-humor","tag-literature","tag-miser","tag-modern-fairy-tale","tag-redemption","tag-scrooge","tag-spirits","cat_731"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/englishbookgeorgia.com\/blogebg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2889","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/englishbookgeorgia.com\/blogebg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/englishbookgeorgia.com\/blogebg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/englishbookgeorgia.com\/blogebg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/englishbookgeorgia.com\/blogebg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2889"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/englishbookgeorgia.com\/blogebg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2889\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2891,"href":"https:\/\/englishbookgeorgia.com\/blogebg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2889\/revisions\/2891"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/englishbookgeorgia.com\/blogebg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2890"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/englishbookgeorgia.com\/blogebg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2889"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/englishbookgeorgia.com\/blogebg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2889"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/englishbookgeorgia.com\/blogebg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2889"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
