Dickens miser (7)

I believe the answer is:

scrooge

'dickens miser' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for scrooge that I've seen before include "Mean person" , "Dickens's miser" , "A Christmas Carol miser" , "Ebenezer ....., famous miser" , "Miser in Christmas tale" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times, The Telegraph, the King Feature Syndicate and the L.A. Times Daily.
