Book excerpt: When A Christmas Carol was first published in 1843 it was an overnight success and set a precedent that was to be followed by other Christmas books, including The Chimes (1844) and The Cricket on the Hearth (1845). But none would achieve the cult status of A Christmas Carol or produce a character as extraordinarily memorable as Ebenezer Scrooge. Misers the world over meet their match in this most committed of miserable skinflints, but even Scrooge is not beyond being saved by the magically redemptive powers of the three spirits that visit him one night.
