Why Change the Story??

Okay, I should have caught this with the word 'retelling' in the title - why on earth would someone change the story line?? This is "A Christmas Carol" by Dickens for crying out loud! You don't mess with "A Christmas Carol"!

Not the original story

I think it should be in bold letters so a customer knows they aren't getting the original story.
