First published on Dec. 19, 1843, Dickens wrote āA Christmas Carolā at a time when Britain was examining Christmas traditions from the past, such as carols, as well as exploring new customs, such as Christmas trees. The first edition sold out before Christmas Eve, just six days later.
The beloved story was written with the intent of bringing attention to the plight of Englandās poor. With every famous āBah! Humbug!ā audiences can relive the classical tale of Ebenezer Scrooge and his encounters with the ghosts of Christmas past, present and future.
