A Christmas Carol
by Charles Dickens
A Christmas Carol in Prose, Being a Ghost Story of Christmas was first published in 1843 and was illustrated by John Leech. The story met with instant success, selling six thousand copies within a week. Originally written as a potboiler to enable Dickens to pay off a debt, the tale has become one of the most popular and enduring Christmas stories of all time. — Excerpted from A Christmas Carol on Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
