Monte-Carlo celebrates with A Christmas Carol

With A Christmas Carol, Charles Dickens created a modern fairy tale and shaped our ideas of Christmas. In 2023, Monaco decided to create a breathtaking installation of the chapters of this classic book in the famous Casino Square.

Being a Ghost Story of Christmas, commonly known as A Christmas Carol, is a novella by Charles Dickens, first published in London by Chapman & Hall in 1843.

It is the tale of the elderly miser Ebenezer Scrooge, who is taught the true meaning of the season by a series of ghostly visitors and given a second chance, was conjured up by Dickens during one of his London night walks, who “wept and laughed” as he composed it.

Ebenezer is visited by the ghost of his former business partner Jacob Marley and the spirits of Christmas Past, Present and Yet to Come. After their visits, Scrooge is transformed into a kinder, gentler man.

This breathtaking Christmas installation is on display until Sunday 7 January 2024.
