About the Book: A Christmas Carol

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.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.

Ebenezer Scrooge is a mean, miserable, bitter old man with no friends. He loves money more than he loves his neighbour and exhibits downright meanness in the consummate dismissal of the plight of the poor. One cold Christmas eve, three ghosts take him on a scary journey to make him realize his nasty ways. By visiting his past, present and future, Scrooge learns to love Christmas and the people all around him. With superb literary treatments of Christian imagery, Dickens shows there is no better analogy for the human spirit of hope, which forms the message of A Christmas Carol. Even the hardest of hearts can soften, and it is truly never too late to transform despair into hope. Like Scrooge, people can change, sometimes literally overnight.
