The celebrated author of such classics as David Copperfield, Great Expectations, The Pickwick Papers, A Tale of Two Cities, Oliver Twist, and the inspiration for countless writers and filmmakers who followed him, Charles Dickens was also a lover of Christmas. From the beloved AA Christmas Carol to The Chimes and Cricket on the Hearth, Dickens captured the magic of Christmas and its power to touch the deepest chords of human emotion and transformation. His collected works resonate with the author's affinity for the power of this blessed season. This new biography from American Trademark Pictures takes a fresh look at the one man who, more than any other could be called Mr. Christmas. In the 1840's his annual Christmas tales appeared in the London press, to the delight of audiences everywhere. His 1843 offering, A Christmas Carol, would go on to become the most beloved and widely read (and later through radio, television, and feature films, the most widely heard and seen) story of Christmas other than the Nativity itself. Indeed, Mr. Christmas: Charles Dickens will feature one Christmas story that the author never envisioned anyone would hear outside his own family. Desiring that his family have a fresh retelling of the life of Christ in the language of children, he wrote a manuscript simply entitled, The Life of our Lord, which he read to his children, beginning with his own faithful retelling of the Nativity story of Christ's birth. He had given strict instructions that the manuscript was not to be published until after his death, and even though his grandson did eventually allow its publication early in this century, few have ever read it or even know of its existence. Mr. Christmas: Charles Dickens will finally bring this beautiful retelling of the first Christmas in the words of Charles Dickens to the public's attention, in a recreated dramatization of a wintry London night as Dickens might have gathered his children about him and read aloud this, the greatest Christmas story of all.
