Christmas with Charles Dickens cover

This collection features three heartwarming Christmas stories, including the classic 'The Story of the Goblins Who Stole a Sexton.' It captures the essence of the holiday spirit.

In Christmas with Charles Dickens, readers are invited into the festive world of Dickens through three enchanting stories that capture the spirit of the season. The collection opens with 'The Story of the Goblins Who Stole a Sexton,' a delightful narrative that serves as a precursor to the iconic A Christmas Carol. In this whimsical tale, goblins conspire to teach a greedy sexton a lesson about generosity and the true meaning of Christmas, setting a charming tone for the anthology.

Following this engaging opener, the collection includes 'What Christmas Is as We Grow Older,' where Dickens reflects on the passage of time and the evolving nature of Christmas celebrations. This introspective piece invites readers to ponder their own experiences and memories tied to the holiday, creating a sense of nostalgia that resonates deeply. The final story, 'A Christmas Dinner,' offers a vivid portrayal of a festive gathering, filled with warmth, laughter, and the joy of shared moments with loved ones.

Christmas with Charles Dickens beautifully encapsulates the essence of the holiday season through Dickens's unique lens. Each story not only entertains but also imparts valuable lessons about kindness, community, and the importance of cherishing our connections with others. This collection is a perfect companion for anyone looking to embrace the spirit of Christmas while enjoying the timeless storytelling of one of literature's greatest figures.
