Second Prize
A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens is my favourite book. This book was first published in December 1843 by Chapman & Hall in London. It is the best novel I have ever read. The main character in this book is Ebenezer Scrooge. He is a hard man with a lot of money. He is as hard as stone. After the death of his friend Jacob Marley, he becomes lonely. Scrooge is a man without any kindness. But after the spirit of Marley comes and shows him the mistakes he has made, he engages in good work with the help of Christmas spirits. This story gives good advice to students like us. This book is very interesting. So, I invite you all to read this book.
