A Christmas Carol

Synopsis

In october 1843, charles dickens ― heavily in debt and obligated to his publisher ― began work on a book to help supplement his family's meager income. That volume, a christmas carol, has long since become one of the most beloved stories in the english language. As much a part of the holiday season as holly, mistletoe, and evergreen wreaths, this perennial favorite continues to delight new readers and rekindle thoughts of charity and goodwill.
