Who was Scrooge's friend when he was young in A Christmas Carol?

Answer 1

Scrooge had very few close friends during his childhood. The friends he had were fictional characters from the books he read, such as Ali Baba and Robinson Crusoe.

Scrooge and the ghost revisit Scrooge's early childhood when Scrooge spent Christmas alone at his boarding school.

• "The jocund travelers came on; and as they came, Scrooge knew and named them every one." (Stave 2)

Seeing his boyhood classmates brings Scrooge to tears.

2. "There's the Parrot." cried Scrooge. "Green body and yellow tail, with a thing like a lettuce growing out of the top of his head; there he is! Poor Robin Crusoe, he called him, when he came home again after sailing round the island."(Stave 2)
