CHARLES DICKENS A CHRISTMAS CAROL & OTHER CHRIS...

A Christmas Carol- The tale has been viewed by critics as an indictment of 19th-century
industrial capitalism. It has been credited with restoring the holiday to one of merriment and
festivity in Britain and America after a period of sobriety and sombreness. The Chimes - The
story of Trotty Veck  a poor ticket porter  whose outlook is changed from despair to hope by
the spirits of the chimes on New Year's Eve. The Cricket on the Hearth - Short tale written by
Charles Dickens as a Christmas book for 1845 but published in 1846. The title creature is a
sort of barometer of life at the home of John Peerybingle and his much younger wife Dot. When
things go well  the cricket on the hearth chirps  it is silent when there is sorrow. Tackleton
a jealous old man  poisons John's mind about Dot  but the cricket through its supernatural
powers restores John's confidence and all ends happily. The Battle of Life - In this tale  the
main characters live in a rural English village that was the site of an historic battle. The
battle comes to symbolize the struggles these characters face in their daily lives. The Haunted
Man - It is a novella by Charles Dickens first published in 1848. It is the fifth and last of
Dickens' Christmas novellas. The story is more about the spirit of the holidays than about the
holidays themselves  harking back to the first of the series  A Christmas Carol. The tale
centers around a Professor Redlaw and those close to him. Charles Dickens (7 February 1812 - 9
June 1870) was an English writer and social critic. He created some of the world's most
memorable fictional characters and is generally regarded as the greatest novelist of the
Victorian period.
