In 1843, Charles Dickens wrote A Christmas Carol, a ghost story that helped give life to a particular vision of Christmas that is still popular today. Many of the images and themes described by Dickens have become inextricably linked with the Christmas holiday. Although A Christmas Carol was by far his most popular and influential holiday story, he published several. 

FCIT’s Lit2Go collection of free audiobooks includes A Christmas Carol, read by the talented and charming Rick Kistner, along with five of Dickens’ other short stories. This season, gather around the Christmas tree, grab a cup of wassail, turn down the lights, and let Lit2Go read your family a Dickens classic.
