| Summary |
"Nearly one hundred fifty years after his death, Charles Dickens remains one of the most popular English-language writers. As a chronicler of the human condition, he created characters--some are kind and virtuous, many are quirky and humorous, other epitomize evil--that leave an indelible mark on their reader. Though Dickens is best remembered for his novels, he made an enormous contribution to journalism through his numerous editorials and journal articles. Christmas Stories consists of two works: "The Holly Tree" (1855) and "Nobody's Story" (1853). Both pieces were originally published in the Christmas section of the journal Household Words (1850-1859). Dickens was both an editor of and a contributor to Household Words, which served as a means for him to express his ideas and sentiments in a way that differed from that of his novels. The reader will find that both works in this collection are vintage Dickens"--Cover, p. 4. |
