A CHRISTMAS CAROL

by CHARLES DICKENS

The real A Christmas Carol of the time: 

A Christmas Carol was immensely popular in 1843. Eight stage productions had been put in to production within two months of the book’s publication. It continues to be as popular today over 150 years later. Dickens himself was involved with many charities and social issues throughout his life. At the time he wrote A Christmas Carol he was very concerned with the plight of impoverished children who often turned to crime in order to survive.

He saw education as a way in which children could eventually lead a better life and The Ragged School movement of the time put this thinking in motion.
