The Haunted Man and the Ghost's Bargain -- A Maison FORMS Access Edition?
Charles Dickens
Maison FORMS · Access Editions? · Clarity is Preservation?

Published in 1848 as the final entry in Dickens's famous Christmas Books, The Haunted Man and the Ghost's Bargain is a winter tale of memory, sorrow, redemption, and the quiet miracles that bind people together. It is not merely a ghost story -- it is a meditation on the cost of forgetting and the deeper grace found in shared suffering.

This Maison FORMS Access Edition? presents Dickens's full text in a clean, modern reading experience, gently refined for clarity while preserving the language, structure, and emotional rhythm of the original. Nothing essential has been altered.
Clarity is the point -- not revision.

Inside the Story
Redlaw, a secluded scholar burdened by past griefs, is visited on Christmas Eve by a spectral double -- a phantom offering the power to forget every sorrow. But gifts from ghosts are never simple. The moment Redlaw accepts, he unleashes a strange influence upon everyone around him, draining compassion even as he relieves pain.

As families, children, and households fall under the spell of forgetfulness, Dickens reveals a profound truth: that suffering, shared and understood, is the root of sympathy -- and that kindness grows not from perfection, but from memory.

Blending Gothic atmosphere with Victorian warmth, this is Dickens at his most contemplative: a tale of shadows, winter light, and the healing power of remembrance.
