About the book

Charles Dickens's Christmas Books brings together the festive stories through which he helped shape the modern literary image of Christmas. The collection is centred on A Christmas Carol, the famous story of Ebenezer Scrooge and his supernatural journey from selfishness to generosity. The accompanying Christmas tales similarly explore family, compassion, memory, forgiveness and social responsibility, often combining supernatural or fairy-tale elements with observations of Victorian society. Warm, imaginative and frequently moving, these works established Dickens as one of the writers most closely associated with the traditions of Christmas.
