“Every idiot who goes around with ‘Merry Christmas’ on his lips, should be boiled with his own pudding.” Few stories have shaped our understanding of Christmas quite like Charles Dickens’s A Christmas Carol. The tale of Ebenezer Scrooge — the cold-hearted miser visited by three spirits on one fateful night — has left a profound and enduring mark on how we think about the festive season: as a time for generosity, reflection, and shared celebration. Taken together with Dickens’s other Christmas writings, its cultural legacy is immeasurable. This is the Penguin English Library edition. The Penguin English Library — 100 editions of the best fiction in English, from the eighteenth century and the very first novels to the beginning of the First World War.
