Memories

In New York, Dickens reads 'A Christmas Carol' to a sold-out audience. He reminisces about his childhood, particularly those involving his larger than life father and some of the financial difficulties they faced one particular holiday season. Similarly, he reads from his other works, and recalls how his father and events of his own life are reflected in his stories.
