Having recently read 'A Christmas Carol' (which I felt was apropos for the season at hand) I found it especially interesting in comparison with all the film and television adaptations I have watched over the years (my favorite being the 1951 version starring the excellent, Alastair Sim)–with more to come in the future, no doubt. I have confirmed ( to myself), why this tale is, and shall forever remain, a classic Christmas story for as long as Christmasses are remembered, in this world, anyway.Started Great Expectations 26 Dec 2012 Finished 20 Jan 2013.
