Summary
An immediate bestseller when it was first published in December 1843, A Christmas Carol has endured ever since as a perennial Yuletide favorite. Charles Dickens's beloved tale about the miserly Ebenezer Scrooge -- who comes to know the meaning of kindness, charity, and goodwill through a haunting Christmas Eve encounter with four ghosts -- is a heartwarming celebration of the spirit of Christmas. 'Whether the Christmas visions would or would not convert Scrooge, they convert us, ' wrote G.K. Chesterton. 'The story sings from end to end like a happy man going home.'
