Dickens became known the all over the world for his remarkable characters, his mastery of prose in the telling of their lives, and his depictions of the social classes, mores and values of his times.
Although worldwide known, it still remains largely untold that Dickens was the man who initiated the now famous tradition of writing and publishing ghost stories for Christmas.
This book includes a careful selection of Christmas ghost stories, including of course the most famous of all, "A Christmas Carol".
Lovers of tradition, mistery and english literature cannot miss this book.
