Charles Dickens is the renowned author of Sketches by 'Boz' and such literary classics as Great Expectations and David Copperfield. He has been called "the man who invented Christmas," and much of the holiday's popularity (and some of its modern traditions!) come from the feelings evoked by his Christmas stories. His most famous Christmas story, A Christmas Carol, has been adapted to film so frequently that everyone has their favorite version!
A great gift for anyone who loves Christmas!
