The Haunted Man and the Ghost's Bargain (Esprios Classics)

The Haunted Man and the Ghost''s Bargain, A Fancy for Christmas-Time (better known as The Haunted Man and the Ghost''s Bargain or simply as The Haunted Man) is a novella by Charles Dickens first published in 1848. It is the fifth and last of Dickens''s Christmas novellas. The story is more about the spirit of the holidays than about the holidays themselves, harking back to the first in the series, A Christmas Carol. The tale centres on a Professor Redlaw and those close to him. Redlaw is a teacher of chemistry who often broods over wrongs done him and grief from his past.
