Dickens is considered to be one of the greatest British writers of all times. He was a social activist who wrote plays and novels during the Victorian period. His most famous novels include Tale of Two Cities, Oliver Twist, and David Copperfield. Published in 1848 The Haunted Man and the Ghost's Bargain is the last of Dickens's Christmas novels. It is about the spirit of the holiday as much as about the holiday itself. Redlaw is a teacher of chemistry who often broods over wrongs done to him and grief from his past. A phantom twin of himself who offers to let Redlaw forget all the sorrows and wrongs in his life haunts Redlaw. Redlaw accepts the offer. Because he can no longer remember the grief in his life, he is overcome with anger that spreads to the families around him. The only one not affected by this is Milly. In the conclusion of the novel she offers this moral. "It is important to remember past sorrows and wrongs so that you can then forgive those responsible and, in doing so, unburden your soul and mature as a human being."

Autorenporträt
Charles Dickens, a towering figure in English literature, needs little advent. His literary works, along with classics like "A Tale of Two Cities," "Great Expectations," and "David Copperfield," have left an indelible mark on literature. One of Dickens's lesser-acknowledged works, "The Lazy Tour of Two Idle Apprentices," is a collaborative effort co-authored with his friend Wilkie Collins. The book, posted in 1857, takes the shape of a travelogue and follows the fictitious adventure of idlers, Thomas Idle and Francis Goodchild. The narrative unfolds as a chain of humorous and reflective sketches recounting their adventures and encounters all through their travels. "The Lazy Tour of Two Idle Apprentices" gives readers a blend of Dickens's wit and Collins's storytelling prowess. The collaborative effort offers a satisfying exploration of person dynamics and the scenic backdrop of the English nation-state. Though not as extensively acclaimed as a number of Dickens's principal novels, this painting showcases the writer's versatility and his capacity to interact readers via numerous literary bureaucracy.
