In 1944, \u003ci\u003eA Christmas Carol\u003c\/i\u003e , Dickens released \u003ci\u003eThe Chimes: A Christmas Story of Some Bells That Rang an Old Year Out and a New Year In\u003c\/i\u003e , which combined his usual sympathy for the poor with the notion that we must always strive to live in nobler ways. In 1845 came the novella \u003ci\u003eThe Cricket on the Hearth\u003c\/i\u003e . The years 1846 and 1848 respectively saw published \u003ci\u003eThe Battle of Life\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Haunted Man and the Ghost’s Bargain\u003c\/i\u003e . Because of this wealth of Christmas-themed works, Dickens is sometime referred to as “the man who invented Christmas.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLexile score: 990L\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAbout the Word Cloud Classics series:\u003cbr\u003eClassic works of literature with a clean, modern aesthetic!
