Sinopsis
Every Christmas, Charles Dickens returns.
His most famous festive story appears on stage, on television, and in film. His characters fill shop windows, Christmas cards and family traditions. Even people who have never read A Christmas Carol know Ebenezer Scrooge, Tiny Tim and the warning cry of "Bah! Humbug!"
But did Dickens really invent Christmas?
The Man Who Saved Christmas explores how one short book helped transform the way the modern world understands the festive season. Beginning with the noisy feasts, wassailing, mumming and religious customs of medieval Christmas, it follows the festival through Puritan suppression, industrialisation and the rapid social changes of nineteenth-century Britain.
At the centre of the story stands Charles Dickens himself: a celebrated novelist haunted by childhood poverty, driven by financial pressure and determined to awaken public sympathy for the poor. Written in only six weeks, A Christmas Carol became an immediate sensation. Its message of family, generosity, memory and redemption helped give the changing Victorian Christmas a powerful new emotional meaning.
This richly illustrated history examines the book's writing and publication, its extraordinary reception, Dickens's dramatic public readings, and the countless stage, film, and television adaptations that followed. It also includes an image of Dickens's original handwritten manuscript and a specially created montage featuring all eight original illustrations from the first edition of A Christmas Carol.
Along the way, it separates fact from legend, revealing which Christmas traditions Dickens inherited, which he helped popularise and why the claim that he "saved Christmas" has endured for more than 180 years.
Warm, lively, and packed with fascinating detail, The Man Who Saved Christmas tells how Charles Dickens turned a ghost story into one of the most influential Christmas traditions of them all.

Acerca del autor
Ex-drummer, Ex-software author and Ex-flares wearer Michael White was born and lives in the northwest of England. In a previous life he was the author of many text adventure games that were popular in the early 1980's. Realising that the creation of these games was in itself a form of writing he has since made the move into self-publishing, resulting in many short stories and novellas. Covering an eclectic range of subjects, the stories fall increasingly into that "difficult to categorise" genre, causing on-going headaches for the marketing department of his one man publishing company, Eighth Day Publishing.
Having accidentally sacked his marketing director (himself) three times in the last two years, he has now retired to a nice comfortable room where, if he behaves himself, they leave him to write in peace.
In his spare time (!) Michael likes to listen to all kinds of music, and is a big fan of Steven Moffat, whether he likes it or not.
Michael is currently working on several new projects and can be contacted on my own website at http: //mikewhiteauthor.wordpress.com or via twitter on @mikewhiteauthor
