A Christmas Carol

by Charles Dickens

1843 · Short stories

Open Library OL32466W

Ebenezer Scrooge is walked through his past, the present he refuses to see, and a future he can still change. Dickens wrote it quickly, and it became the Christmas story people mean.

About the author

Dickens filled novels with institutions, comic speech, and people the city would rather not count. The books here run from a short Christmas tale to the long arc of Great Expectations. More of this shelf for Charles Dickens.
