A Christmas Carol

The ghost story that invented Christmas as we know it. Charles Dickens's 1843 novella transformed a minor religious holiday into the season of generosity, family, and redemption that we celebrate today. Ebenezer Scrooge is a miser who despises Christmas and all it represents—until three spirits take him on a journey through his past, present, and future that will change him forever. In prose that moves from comic to terrifying to heartbreaking, Dickens created characters that have become immortal: the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Yet to Come; Tiny Tim; and Scrooge himself, whose transformation remains the ultimate story of redemption.
