Charles Dickens' Christmas Stories by Charles Dickens

We cannot go through the Christmas season without hearing exclamations of Scrooge's 'Bah Humbug!' or Tiny Tim's more good-natured 'God bless us, every one'. Charles Dickens' Christmas tales have defined the festive period and will endure for years to come.

This beautifully designed treasury collates his well-known A Christmas Carol with other lesser known works, including:

* The Chimes
* The Cricket on the Hearth
* The Battle of Life
* The Haunted Man

Dickens was a tireless campaigner for social justice and his empathy with the deserving poor shines through in these stories, which often culminate in the change of heart of a misanthrope.

Join Tiny Tim, the Cratchit family, Ebenezer Scrooge and a menagerie of wonderfully realized characters on this festive journey and remind yourself of the true meaning of Christmas.

Charles Dickens (1812-1870) has been remembered in history as one of the greatest authors of the Victorian era. Not only having received tremendous success while he was alive, Charles Dickens' work continues to be read as voraciously as when it was first published. Because of his tremendous popularity, Charles Dickens has secured himself the position of not only being one of the greatest writers of his generation, but one of the most celebrated writers of all time. In addition to his writing, Charles Dickens was a prominent activist, dedicating much of his life to fighting for better social conditions for the poor as well as powerfully advocating for better laws to protect the rights of children. When a piece of literature refers to either unfair working and living conditions, or else portrays the state of a morally corrupt social class, the writing is thus referred to as Dickensian. Much of literary traditions thus owe their inspiration from the writing of Charles Dickens.
