The Christmas Books of Mr. M. A. Titmarsh: During their lifetimes, Charles Dickens and William Makepeace Thackeray were engaged in a friendly competition of sorts to see who could gain the most stature and popularity as writers for the masses.
Following in Dickens' footsteps, Thackeray began penning a series of heartwarming holiday-themed tales to be published in serial form, often under the pen name "Michael Angelo Titmarsh."
Thackeray wrote for the Christmas season: Mrs. Perkins's Ball; Our Street; Doctor Birch and His Young Friends; The Kickleburys on the Rhine; and The Rose and the Ring; or, The History of Prince Giglio and Prince Bulbo.
