Interesting Facts About A Christmas Carol

A Christmas Carol, or originally known as A Christmas Carol in Prose, Being a Ghost Story of Christmas, is a Victorian morality novel written by author Charles Dickens and published in the December of 1843 by Chapman and Hall of the United Kingdom. It quickly became the most popular book of the holiday season that year. Six thousand copies were sold by Christmas and within two months after publication, eight stage adaptations were in the works. Ironically, Dickens only wrote the book to pay off a debt, and today it is one of the best selling Christmas books of all time.

The driving force for Dickens’s creation was his disenchantment with the world's economic drives and greed.
