A Christmas Carol and Other Christmas Books by Charles Dickens
3.0
A ghostly and heart warming tale of finding the true meaning of Christmas.
A Christmas Carol was Charles Dickens’ first novella but his seventh major work overall. Published in 1843, it was predicted as a failure resulting in Dickens partly funding the publishing himself. The first 6000 copies were sold out within five days and it has since sold over two million copies.
The novel was praised unanimously throughout England and has stayed in print ever since. It’s a light-hearted tale, celebrating not only Christmas but of human kindness, charity, and hope.
