The novel, A Christmas Carol was written by Charles Dickens and published on 9 December, 1843.

Dickens originally planned to write a pamphlet entitled An Appeal to the People of England, on Behalf of the Poor Man's Child, inspired by the Children's Employment Commission Report, which was to have outlined the plight of the vast underclass of London. But after pleas to Commissioners of the report went unanswered, Dickens abandoned the idea believing a well-written story would have greater impact.
