The final resting place of Charles Dickens in Poet's Corner in Westminster Abbey, London.
Probably the most loved Christmas story of all time A Christmas Carol was penned by Dickens in 1843. Hundreds of editions and dozens of dramatizations have followed that first slim volume that was printed and sold just a few days before the holiday that year. The story was credited (along with Prince Albert's enthusiasm for the Christmas tree) with bringing back the seasonal spirit to the British Isles which had been somewhat lacking since the days of Cromwell.
