A CHRISTMAS CAROL

Written by Charles Dickens and first published on December 19, 1843, A Christmas Carol is the novel that re-defined the spirit of Christmas. It remains one of the most famous holiday stories in world literature.

Set in Victorian London, the narrative centers on Ebenezer Scrooge, a bitter, miserly old man who despises Christmas and holds utter contempt for all charity and goodwill. Through a series of spirit-driven visits, Scrooge changes his mindset and outlook, becoming charitable to others. It is a persisting story of moral awakening and awareness.
