Understanding Charles Dickens' a Christmas Carol

Another of Gavin's Guides- study books packed with insight. They aim to help you raise your grade!Understanding Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol" is a complete study guide and is written for both students aiming to achieve the higher grades, and their teachers, as they prepare for GCSE examinations with any of the UK exam boards in Summer 2019 and beyond. Writes Gavin: "Dickens' "A Christmas Carol" has been a favourite GCSE text for many years. It's easy to see why; it is a novella (a short novel) which the wider reading public all over the world has always appreciated. It captures the warmth of Christmas while it also confronts us with the reality of child poverty, and asks us uncomfortable questions about the gap between the very poor and the better off."Read this guide and you will understand clearly what Dickens wanted to say (and why) when he wrote "A Christmas Carol." It will also help you to improve your essay technique. This Gavin's Guide contains a full analysis of the text; a scene by scene breakdown of the plot; character motives, themes and ideas, plus sample essays. It is written with clarity and enthusiasm by a successful private tutor and author. Gavin's Guides have sold close to 20,000 copies. So why not get a Gavin's Guide on your side for your GSCE this summer? A unique feature of the book is that purchasers can also email Gavin direct with any last minute questions before their exam. Says Gavin: I am a private tutor in Chipping Campden in Gloucestershire. This book was written initially to help my students. In the same way I help them to achieve higher grades, I hope this will help you. And here's an offer and a promise to back that up...........if you have questions and your teachers can't help, e-mail me and I'll write back with answers."
