Dickens' 'A Christmas Carol' is first published on 19th Dec 1843, and never goes out of print! It is a tale of human morality against the backdrop of Christmas.  Does it reflect Christmas traditions already established or informs them? Either way, Dickens' image of Christmas endures.   #Dickens #AChristmasCarol #CharlesDickens Buy me a coffee - BuyMeACoffee.com/Philippa Join the British History Club and enjoy early access to content, plus exclusive blogs, virtual tours, behind the scenes, live events and other perks such as free gifts.
