    About this ebook

    The "Christmas Story" (often a "Christmas Ghost Story") was a popular Victorian tradition. Charles Dickens, who surely needs no introduction today, took part with gusto, penning dozens of Christmas tales (the most famous being "A Christmas Carol"). We are delighted to include not just the standard fare of "A Christmas Carol," but a total of 25 great stories (more than 1,000 pages!) Dickens penned for Yuletide reading in this volume. Included are:


    A CHRISTMAS CAROL

    THE CHIMES

    THE CRICKET ON THE HEARTH

    THE BATTLE OF LIFE

    THE HAUNTED MAN AND THE GHOST'S BARGAIN

    A CHRISTMAS TREE

    NOBODY'S STORY

    THE SCHOOLBOY'S STORY

    THE CHILD'S STORY

    THE POOR RELATION'S STORY

    THE SEVEN POOR TRAVELLERS

    THE HOLLY-TREE—THREE BRANCHES

    Author

    Charles Dickens

    Charles Dickens (1812-1870) was an English writer and social critic. Regarded as the greatest novelist of the Victorian era, Dickens had a prolific collection of works including fifteen novels, five novellas, and hundreds of short stories and articles. The term “cliffhanger endings” was created because of his practice of ending his serial short stories with drama and suspense. Dickens’ political and social beliefs heavily shaped his literary work. He argued against capitalist beliefs, and advocated for children’s rights, education, and other social reforms. Dickens advocacy for such causes is apparent in his empathetic portrayal of lower classes in his famous works, such as The Christmas Carol and Hard Times.
