May it haunt their houses pleasantly, and no one wish to lay it. Their faithful Friend and Servant, CD. 1843. This is Dickens own words on the matter. It would seem he wanted to write a light and at times humourous account of his views on wealth and poverty that could be enjoyed but equally would convey an important moral and political message.
