The story

In 1843, four years after the success of Oliver Twist, Charles Dickens is experiencing financial pressures after the failures of his last three books. To restore his finances, he sets out to write a new one, but when his publishers will not meet his target of publication before Christmas, he decides to publish it himself. Seeing inspiration around London, most notably a rich man's funeral that is largely unattended and a mean-spirited old man who gives him the catchphrase "Humbug" and inspiration of a new character, Charles begins writing A Christmas Carol.
