Weaving together a crackling Christmas collection from master novelist of the Victorian era, Charles Dickens himself, this fierce, fiery, and festive anthology will leave you cosy yet cold with the chill of a real and raw Victorian Christmas…
We’ll deep dive into Dickens’ moral message in the famous ‘A Christmas Carol’, before encountering more Christmas spirits in ‘The Chimes’. This time, however, ghostly spirits are replaced by ghastly goblins…
We’ll then step into the tantalising world of toys – and cosy critters – in ‘The Cricket on the Hearth’. Meanwhile, ‘The Battle of Life’ will see the Christmas message of peace, love, and kindness bubble to the surface. Last but not least, we’ll have to reckon with a fantastically festive haunted mansion in ‘The Haunted Man and the Ghost’s Bargain’.
´Charles Dickens‘ Christmas Stories´ is a must-read for lovers of classical literature, festive fanatics of ´The Muppets Christmas Carol´, and fans of Dev Patel’s ´The Personal History of David Copperfield´.
