A Christmas Carol, of eighteen forty-three, tells how the miser Ebenezer Scrooge is visited by the ghost of his partner Jacob Marley and the spirits of Christmas Past, Present and Yet to Come, and is transformed into a kinder man.
In practice
A miser, four ghosts, a change of heart.
Where people slip
The ghost story carries social critique.
