    Author

    Charles Dickens

    Charles Dickens (1812–1870) gehört bis heute zu den beliebtesten Schriftstellern der Weltliteratur, in England ist er geradezu eine nationale Institution, und auch bei uns erfreuen sich seine Werke einer nicht nachlassenden Beliebtheit. Sein „Weihnachtslied in Prosa“ erscheint im deutschsprachigen Raum bis heute alljährlich in immer neuen Ausgaben und Adaptionen. Dickens’ lebensvoller Erzählstil, sein quirliger Humor, sein vehementer Humanismus und seine mitreißende Schaffensfreude brachten ihm den Beinamen „der Unnachahmliche“ ein.

      Captain Boldheart & the Latin-Grammar Master - Charles Dickens

      DICKENS

      FOREWORD

      The story contained herein was written by Charles Dickens in 1867. It is the third of four stories entitled Holiday Romance and was published originally in a children's magazine in America. It purports to be written by a child aged nine. It was republished in England in All the Year Round in 1868. For this and four other Christmas pieces Dickens received £1,000.

      Holiday Romance was published in book form by Messrs Chapman & Hall in 1874, with Edwin Drood and other stories.

      For this reprint the text of the story as it appeared in All the Year Round has been followed.[Pg 5]
