Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol is a timeless classic that tells us
the story of a miserly, hateful man called Ebenezer Scrooge and his
journey towards the path of redemption.
The story revolves around Scrooge’s hatred for Christmas and those
who are not as fortunate as him. On Christmas Eve, Scrooge is
visited by three spirits who take him on a journey through time and
help him realise the kind of person he has become over time, and
the impact of his actions on those around him.
A Christmas Carol brings out the spirit of Christmas through a
story of self-realisation, making readers believe that there truly is
such a thing as a Christmas miracle.
Charles Dickens
Charles Dickens was born in 1812 near Portsmouth where his father was a clerk in the navy pay office. The family moved to London in 1823, but their fortunes were severely impaired. Dickens was sent to work in a blacking-warehouse when his father was imprisoned for debt. Both experiences deeply affected the future novelist. In 1833 he began contributing stories to newspapers and magazines, and in 1836 started the serial publication of Pickwick Papers. Thereafter, Dickens published his major novels over the course of the next twenty years, from Nicholas Nickleby to Little Dorrit. He also edited the journals Household Words and All the Year Round. Dickens died in June 1870.
