A Christmas Carol, by Charles Dickens', is a classic holiday tale of Ebenezer Scrooge, a cheerless miser, who learns the true meaning of Christmas when confronted by his past, present, and future by well meaning ghosts. Dickens wrote A Christmas Carol in 1843. He finished the story in only six weeks. In a matter of weeks, it became the most successful book of the Christmas season.
