Yes, Robert Louis Stevenson's character Ebenezer Balfour in the novel "Kidnapped" predates Charles Dickens' Ebenezer Scrooge in "A Christmas Carol." "Kidnapped" was published in 1886, while "A Christmas Carol" was published in 1843. Both characters share similar traits of being stingy and miserly, but they come from different literary works.

No, it is the other way round. A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens was published in 1843, and Kidnapped by Robert Louis Stevenson, was published in 1886.
