MARLEY! (Shaking Fists at Sky)

Some tidbits on A Christmas Carol:
1. A Christmas Carol must hold some sort of record for being the fastest classic tale ever written. Dickens started writing in October of 1843 and finished up before December. He left enough time for illustrator John Leech to do his thing and then it was printed, published and on bookshelves by December 17.
This record will be broken next November when I attack the "write a novel in a month" contest with my future classic Christmas novella, Elves Fingerblastin' for Cash.
