Written in 1848, The Haunted Man and the Ghost’s Bargain is the last of Charles Dickens’ Christmas novellas. The book centers on Professor Redlaw, a man haunted by his painful memories of the past, and an eerie phantom that offers to remove those memories from him. Redlaw agrees, but suffers greatly as a consequence. Realizing his mistake, Redlaw learns to forgive those who have wronged him, teaching the reader that it is both the good and bad experiences that make us who we are.
