Features: The main feature of this book is "A Christmas Carol," which is one of the most famous Christmas stories written by the great British author Charles Dickens. It is called "the second-greatest Christmas story of all time" (the greatest Christmas story undoubtedly refers to the story of the birth of Jesus Christ recorded in the Gospel). For 160 years since its publication, millions have been captivated and inspired by it. Countless versions, translations, and stage, television, and film adaptations based on it have emerged. However, few people know that this "joyful and glorious" Christmas story was born during a gloomy period in the author's creative career. Dickens was on the brink of bankruptcy and in a deeply depressed state, and he wrote the book to escape from his troubles. When he was writing his beloved Christmas story, his frustration vanished. "A Christmas Carol" became the author's work born out of love.
