| Publisher Description: We cannot go through the Christmas season without hearing exclamations of Scrooge's 'Bah Humbug ' or Tiny Tim's more good-natured 'God bless us, every one'. Charles Dickens' Christmas tales have defined the festive period and will endure for years to come. This beautifully designed treasury collates his well-known A Christmas Carol with other lesser known works, including: - The Chimes- The Cricket on the Hearth - The Battle of Life - The Haunted Man Dickens was a tireless campaigner for social justice and his empathy with the deserving poor shines through in these stories, which often culminate in the change of heart of a misanthrope. Join Tiny Tim, the Cratchit family, Ebenezer Scrooge and a menagerie of wonderfully realized characters on this festive journey and remind yourself of the true meaning of Christmas. |
