A Christmas Carol

Prolific 19th century author, Charles Dickens is famous for his remarkable characters and mastery of prose in the telling of their lives. Loved for his invaluable contribution to classic English literature, his good, bad and comic characters and realistic portrayal of contemporary life in Victorian England continue to fascinate readers worldwide.

Written in 1843, A Christmas Carol is one of the most famous works by Charles Dickens. Having been scorned by our pilgrim forefathers, Christmas was not even recognised as a national holiday until the mid-nineteenth century. The national ideal of what Christmas should be has descended from Britain, where Queen Victoria celebrated Christmas with German customs sprinkled all over it. A Christmas Carol carries such Victorian spirit.
