A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens
A story about an old miser time traveling and changing his ways based on threats and punishment rather than good will.
Banned
Not really banned anywhere, but written in response to the puritanical Protestant response to the practice of celebrating Christmas with pagan symbols such as trees, gifts, cards, and carols.
