First published in London in 1843 by Chapman and Hall, A Christmas Carol saw its first edition sold out in just seven days. In the next 12 months, there would be 13 subsequent editions. Charles Dickens passed away in 1870, but the novella has never been out of print and has been translated into several other languages. The tradition of bringing this holiday tale to the stage comes, in part, from the fact that Dickens took to reading his work in public during the holidays.

A Christmas Carol was one of the first literary works to focus on Christmas traditions and was instrumental in spreading the Victorian traditions of caroling and lighted Christmas trees around the world. Many authors, including Washington Irving and Louisa May Alcott, followed Dickens' lead.
