Yes, it was Charles Dickens that wrote A CHRISTMAS CAROL (1843), It was Dickens' first and best-known Christmas book about the redemption of the miserly Scrooge, features his long-suffering clerk Bob Cratchit and crippled son, Tiny Tim.
He also wrote:
OLIVER TWIST (1837-39) blends humor and pathos, taking the orphaned Oliver from the grim world of the parish workhouse to a London gang of pickpockets, thieves, and prostitutes headed by the outcast Fagin.
A TALE OF TWO CITIES (1859), a fast-paced treatment of the French Revolution, vividly depicts the passions of Madame DeFarge and the other revolutionaries in Paris and the heroics of Charles Darnay's dark double, Sydney Carton, in London.
GREAT EXPECTATIONS (1860-61), narrated by the orphan Pip, offers fascinating explorations of guilt, wealth, passion, time, responsibility, and affection, and presents unforgettable portraits of the ruined Miss Havisham, the cold beauty Miss Estella, and the loving blacksmith Joe Gargery.
