Charles Dickens published perhaps his most famous story, "A Christmas Carol," on this day in history, Dec. 19, 1843. It's one of the most familiar holiday tales in the world.
English author Dickens, 31 years old at the time, had recently gained literary celebrity following the release of "Sketches by Boz," "The Pickwick Papers" and "Oliver Twist." Characters and catchphrases from the short book have stood the test of time. "Dickens' novella about the original Christmas grinch has been a holiday staple for nearly two centuries." — National Endowment for the Arts "God bless us, every one." — Tiny Tim Cratchit Kerry J. Byrne is a lifestyle reporter with Fox News Digital.
