A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens

Ryan Otto

A good story has the power to invoke the better parts of our common humanity. This is an ordinary reading of an extraordinary story, A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens. A story of Christmas, "...the only time I know of, in the long calendar of the year, when men and women seem by one consent to open their shut-up hearts freely, and to think of people below them as if they really were fellow-passengers to the grave, and not another race of creatures bound on other journeys."
