Though first published by Chapman & Hall in 1843, “A Christmas Carol,” probably the most popular piece of fiction that Charles Dickens ever wrote, actually paid the publishing costs himself. It was the most successful book of the 1843 holiday season. By Christmas it sold six thousand copies, and it continued to be popular into the new year. This classic is as popular today as it was over 175 years ago. Dickens, through the voice of Scrooge, reminds us of the importance in taking notice of the lives of those around us and continues to urge us to honor Christmas in our hearts and try to keep it all the year round.
