Christmas Carol

Christmas Carol

by Charles Kingsley

Charles Kingsley's *A Christmas Carol* is a Victorian-era novella that explores themes of social justice, redemption, and the true spirit of Christmas. It tells the story of a wealthy, yet miserly man who is visited by three spirits on Christmas Eve. These spirits reveal to him the consequences of his selfish actions and the potential for change. The novella is a poignant reminder of the importance of compassion and generosity, particularly during the holiday season.
