Charles Dickens (1812–1870), an iconic figure of Victorian literature, is highly regarded for his acute social commentary and his contribution to the canon of English literature with his vivid characters and depictions of contemporary life. Though he is not the original author of 'The Santa's Big Book of Christmas Tales: 500+ Novels, Stories, Poems, Carols & Legends,' his works have undoubtedly influenced the Christmas genre and have been included in many holiday compilations. Dickens's literary style is characterized by rich storytelling, memorable characters, and his penchant for addressing the injustices and social ills of his time through narrative. His most celebrated works include 'A Christmas Carol,' which redefined the spirit and significance of Christmas, 'Oliver Twist,' 'Great Expectations,' and 'David Copperfield.' These novels, and indeed his entire oeuvre, showcase his mastery of prose, wit, and pathos. Dickens's literary achievements have been recognized and analyzed in numerous critical studies, and his novels remain a touchstone for the exploration of Victorian England, enjoying enduring popularity and scholarly interest well into the 21st century.
