A Christmas Carol And The Chimes (1886)

A Christmas Carol and The Chimes is a collection of two classic novellas by Charles Dickens, originally published in 1886. The first novella, A Christmas Carol, tells the story of Ebenezer Scrooge, a miserly old man who is visited by the ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Yet to Come. Through these supernatural encounters, Scrooge learns the true meaning of Christmas and is transformed into a kinder, more generous person. The second novella, The Chimes, follows the story of Toby Veck, a poor messenger who is disillusioned with life and contemplates suicide on New Year's Eve. However, he is visited by spirits who show him the consequences of his actions and inspire him to have hope for the future. Both stories are heartwarming tales of redemption and the power of human kindness, and have become beloved holiday classics that are still read and enjoyed today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
