NovelaVianočná koledavyšla po prvý raz 19. decembra 1843. Prvé vydanie sa vypredalo v priebehu niekoľkých dní a Londýnčania hodiny stáli v nekonečných radoch, len aby si ju mohli vypočuť v podaní samotného Charlesa Dickensa. Čitatelia prijali nevšedný príbeh s nadšením a dodnes sa hovorí, že táto kniha vo viktoriánskej spoločnosti nanovo prebudila záujem o vianočné tradície vrátane koledovania a posielania sviatočných pozdravov. Zároveň v Spojenom kráľovstve vyvolala nečakanú vlnu dobročinnosti medzi bohatými priemyselníkmi, neslávne známymi ako „lúpežní baróni“.Autor dielo pôvodne zamýšľal ako kritiku kapitalistických vykorisťovateľov, dnes však patrí kvianočnej klasike.Vianočná koledainšpirovala vznik mnohých divadelných hier a animovaných i hraných filmov a neprestajne oslovuje malých aj veľkých čitateľov na celom svete.Príbeh rozpráva o starom Ebenezerovi Scroogeovi, ktorý miluje peniaze a nenávidí Vianoce. Vždy sedáva sám vo svojom veľkom chladnom dome a zlostne pozoruje rozsvietené okná okolitých domov, kde si ľudia v teplom kruhu rodín pochutnávajú na vianočnej hostine.Scrooge sa uloží do postele, ale akosi nedokáže zaspať. Vtom ho navštívia traja duchovia a jeden po druhom ho berú na poučné cesty, ktoré by chamtivcovi mali otvoriť oči. Scrooge zistí, že nič nie je také, ako si dovtedy myslel. Prehodnotí svoj životný postoj alebo ostane naďalej plný zloby a nenávisti?

Americké poznámky sú spolu s románom o Martinovi Chuzzlewitovi plodom Dickensovho prvého amerického pobytu v roku 1842. Spoločný obom týmto prácam je kritický pohľad: autor vidí nedostatky amerických pomerov v dobe pred občianskou vojnou a citlivo vystihuje, kde a ako je americký život pokrivený. Svojím humanitným založením sa potom prejavuje vždy ako človek, sympatizujúci s tými, ktorí sú utlačovaní a ktorí trpia. Ak odvolal po rokoch niečo z tejto úprimnej kritiky, musíme si uvedomiť, že sa to stalo v znamení druhej návštevy Ameriky, keď bolo jeho záujmom, aby čitateľské turné malo čo najväčší morálny i finančný úspech. Tento titul vychádza v slovenčine po prvýkrát a je určený širokej čitateľskej verejnosti.
