The Battle of Life (1846)
The Haunted Man (1848)
And they're available at MR in
Mobi and
ePub format in one handy omnibus edition.
It may surprise some people to learn that the popularity of "A Christmas Carol" is a fairly recent phenomenon. Until the early 20th century, "The Cricket on the Hearth" was probably better known and more popular.
