A Christmas Carol might be Charles Dickens’ most long-lasting work, despite being one of his shortest. There are those who still read and enjoy his other works, such as Oliver Twist, which again regains modern legs with a musical rendition; or David Copperfield, who at least lends his name to someone moderately famous in the modern time.
