Description
With A Christmas Carol Charles Dickens created a modern fairy tale and shaped our ideas of Christmas. The tale of the solitary miser Ebenezer Scrooge, who is taught the true meaning of the season by a series of ghostly visitors and given a second chance, was conjured up by Dickens during one of his London night walks, when he "wept and laughed" as he composed it. Taken to readers' hearts for its humour, compassion and message of redemption, it remains his best-loved book.
