The Christmas Stories: features A Christmas Carol Tapa blanda - 2016

de Charles Dickens


Acerca de este libro

The first edition of Dicken’s classic work A Christmas Carol, was published in 1843. It was a runaway success, and Dickens went on to write dozens of follow up Christmas tales over the next 25 years. Many of these stories are bundled in collections, titled Christmas Stories or Christmas Books.

The first four Christmas books published after the success of A Christmas Carol were: The Chimes: A Goblin Story of Some Bells that Rang an Old Year Out and a New Year In (1844), The Cricket on the Hearth: A Fairy Tale of Home (1845), The Battle of Life: A Love Story (1846), The Haunted Man and the Ghost’s Bargain: A Fancy for Christmas-Time (1848). 

After the success of these stand-alone books, Dickens began to write and edit special Christmas-themed issues of Household Words, a twopenny journal he launched in 1850. He collaborated with well-known authors, as well as wrote his own stories. You can find multiple bound editions of these early stories from Household Words, such as "What Christmas Is" (1851), "The Poor Relation's Story "(1852), "The Schoolboy's Story" (1853), "The Seven Poor Travellers" (1854), "The Holly-Tree Inn" (1855), "A House to Let" (1858), "The Haunted House" (1859), "A Message from the Sea" (1860), and "Somebody's Luggage" (1862).

Información de la editorial

"God bless Us, Every One!" In 1843, Charles Dickens released the most famous Christmas story of all time, his classic A Christmas Carol. The book was an immediate success and spurred Dickens into writing four more short Christmas novels during the course of the 1840s. Those books are not as widely acclaimed as A Christmas Carol, and are considered among his lesser-known works but they all remain worthy of renewed interest. All five books appear in this volume. A Christmas Carol The Chimes The Cricket on the Hearth The Battle of Life The Haunted Man and the Ghost's Bargain
