"What I found interesting was that the children get the credit for Charles Dickens continuing his writing and creating a story about a miser changing into a good Christian man who shares his wealth with those who do not have. I actually own a book by Charles Dickens called Charles Dickens Ghost Stories. Stories that he wrote that were later incorporated into other novels."
