![]() ![]() Dickens was adamant that A Christmas Carol be published as a high-quality, stand-alone book. ![]() However, in an interesting turn of events, Dickens paid the publishing costs himself. Technically speaking, A Christmas Carol was published by Chapman & Hall. Charles Dickens, through the voice of Scrooge, continues to urge us to honour Christmas in our hearts and try to keep it all the year round. The book is as popular today as it was over 150 years ago. A Christmas Carol, probably the most popular piece of fiction that Charles Dickens ever wrote, was published in 1843. Charles John Huffam Dickens, an English writer and social critic, edited a weekly journal for 20 years, wrote 15 novels, five novellas, hundreds of short stories and non-fiction articles, lectured and performed readings extensively, was an indefatigable letter writer, and campaigned vigorously for children's rights, education, and other social reforms. ![]()
