Brighten the holiday season with five classic tales from the master of Christmastime fiction.
Charles Dickens's most famous holiday story is the 1843 publication A Christmas Carol, but he was a prolific writer in the yuletide genre and a great contributor to many now-prevalent traditions of the holiday itself. In the year following the release of A Christmas Carol, Dickens released The Chimes: A Christmas Story of Some Bells That Rang an Old Year Out and a New Year In. This story combined his enduring sympathy for the poor with the notion that we must always strive to live in nobler ways. In 1845 came The Cricket on the Hearth, a novella that, in its time, surpassed even A Christmas Carol in popularity for stage productions. The years 1846 and 1848 respectively brought The Battle of Life and The Haunted Man and the Ghost's Bargain. Given this wealth of Christmas-themed works, it is no wonder that Dickens is sometimes referred to as "the man who invented Christmas."
