Carol singing took a new lease of life during this time. Dickens’s sources for the tale appear to be many and varied, but are, principally, the humiliating experiences of his childhood, his sympathy for the poor, and various Christmas stories and fairy tales.[ A Christmas Carol remains popular-having never been out of print-and has been adapted many times to film, stage, opera, and other media.
