In the year following the release of \u003ci\u003eA Christmas Carol\u003c\/i\u003e, Dickens released \u003ci\u003eThe Chimes: A Christmas Story of Some Bells That Rang an Old Year Out and a New Year In\u003c\/i\u003e. This story combined his enduring sympathy for the poor with the notion that we must always strive to live in nobler ways. In 1845 came \u003ci\u003eThe Cricket on the Hearth\u003c\/i\u003e, a novella that, in its time, surpassed even \u003ci\u003eA Christmas Carol\u003c\/i\u003e in popularity for stage productions. The years 1846 and 1848 respectively brought \u003ci\u003eThe Battle of Life\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Haunted Man and the Ghost’s Bargain\u003c\/i\u003e. Given this wealth of Christmas-themed works, it is no wonder that Dickens is sometimes referred to as “the man who invented Christmas.”","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46795739267230,"sku":"HPC-9781667208589","price":29.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781667208589.jpg?v=1778026487","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781667208589","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
