A Christmas Carol. In Prose. Being a Ghost Story of Christmas, ordinarily known as A Christmas Carol, is a novella by Charles Dickens, first distributed in London by Chapman and Hall in 1843 and outlined by John Leech. A Christmas Carol recaps the narrative of Ebenezer Scrooge, an older recluse who is visited by the phantom of his previous colleague Jacob Marley and the spirits of Christmas Past, Present but to Come. After their visits, Scrooge is changed into a kinder, gentler man. Dickens composed A Christmas Carol during a period when the British were investigating and reconsidering past Christmas customs, including songs, and fresher traditions, for example, Christmas cards and Christmas trees. He was affected by the encounters of his own childhood and by the Christmas accounts of different creators, including Washington Irving and Douglas Jerrold. Dickens had composed three Christmas stories preceding the novella, and was motivated following a visit to the Field Lane Ragged School, one of a few foundations for London's road kids. The treatment of poor people and the capacity of an egotistical man to make up for himself by changing into a more thoughtful person are the vital subjects of the story. There is conversation among scholastics with regards to whether this is a completely common story, or on the other hand assuming it is a Christian purposeful anecdote.

Charles Dickens was born on February 7, 1812, in Portsmouth, England, into a family that faced financial instability. His early life was marked by hardship, particularly when his father was imprisoned for debt, forcing young Dickens to work in a factory at the age of 12. These formative experiences deeply influenced his later writings, infusing them with themes of social injustice and the struggles of the poor.Dickens began his literary career as a journalist, but he quickly rose to fame with the publication of The Pickwick Papers in 1836. His vivid characters, keen social observations, and serialized storytelling captivated a broad audience. Over the years, Dickens authored numerous classics such as Oliver Twist, David Copperfield, and A Christmas Carol, establishing himself as one of the most influential writers of the Victorian era.Beyond his novels, Dickens was also a tireless social critic, using his platform to advocate for reforms in education, labor conditions, and the treatment of the poor. His works not only entertained but also challenged society to confront its injustices. Dickens continued to write and tour extensively until his death on June 9, 1870, leaving behind a legacy that continues to resonate with readers around the world.
