Charles John Huffam Dickens (1812–1870), one of the most famous and celebrated novelists of the Victorian era, created some of the most memorable characters in world literature. He completed 15 full-length novels, including 'Oliver Twist', 'Great Expectations', 'Bleak House', 'Little Dorrit' and the semi-autobiographical 'David Copperfield', five novellas (including 'A Christmas Carol') and hundreds of short stories and essays. Much of his work is notable for biting social commentary on the plight of the poor, and sharp satire lampooning the rich and powerful.

'A Christmas Carol' was published by Chapman & Hall on 19 December 1843, with illustrations by John Leech. The story is arranged into five chapters, which Dickens gave the musical term "Stave", in reference to the full title 'A Christmas Carol, in prose". That first edition sold out by Christmas eve. Further editions followed immediately, and it continued to sell well into the spring of 1844. The novella has never been out of print since, and has been adapted countless times in films, television and theatre, including several musicals.
