As uplifting as the tale of Scrooge itself, this is the story of how Charles Dickens revived the signal holiday of the Western world-now a major motion picture. 

 Just before Christmas  in 1843, a debt-ridden and dispirited Charles Dickens wrote a small book he hoped  would keep his creditors at bay. His publisher turned it down, so Dickens used what  little money he had to put out A Christmas Carol himself. He worried it might be  the end of his career as a novelist.

 The book immediately caused a sensation. And  it breathed new life into a holiday that had fallen into disfavor, undermined by  lingering Puritanism and the cold modernity of the Industrial Revolution. It was  a harsh and dreary age, in desperate need of spiritual renewal, ready to embrace  a book that ended with blessings for one and all.

 With warmth, wit, and an infusion  of Christmas cheer, Les Standiford whisks us back to Victorian England, its most  beloved storyteller, and the birth of the Christmas we know best. The Man Who Invented  Christmas is a rich and satisfying read for Scrooges and sentimentalists alike.
