"A Christmas Carol" was written from October to December of 1843, and was published as a novella.
Dickens had to pay the expenses of production, as Chapman and Hall published it on commission. *

It helped make CHARLES DICKENS one of the most famous and popular authors & speakers of the 19th century.

" . . . 'A Christmas Carol' quite consumed his mind during the weeks of its writing. He 'wept and laughed, and wept again, and excited himself in a most extraordinary manner in the composition; and thinking whereof he walked about the black streets of London fifteen and twenty miles many a night when all sober folks had gone to bed'. " *
