A Christmas Carol. Dickens’ most loved seasonal story
Charles Dickens’ novel, “A Christmas Carol” (1843), is the famous redemption tale of the wicked Ebenezer Scrooge. On Christmas Eve Scrooge is visited by spirits, including his former business partner Jacob Marley and the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Christmas Present, and Christmas Yet to Come.
Each ghost imparts a different message unto Scrooge about how his penny-pinching and indifference to those in need has affected himself and others who care about him.
