Description

HarperCollins is proud to present its incredible range of best-loved, essential classics.
There is probably a smell of roasted chestnuts and other good comfortable things all the time, for we are telling Winter Stories

This heart-warming collection of festive short stories and novellas perfectly captures the spirit of Christmas. Focused on the journeys taken through life and the inherent goodness of mankind, these tales explore the true meaning of Christmas and revel in the joyful season of goodwill. Imbued with a moral message, Dickenss writing gives a voice to the plight of working-class families during a period of social and political change in Victorian England.

With such tales as The Chimes, The Cricket on the Hearth and What Christmas Is, As We Grow Older, this is a beautiful collection for Dickens fans, and a wonderful companion for all those who cherish A Christmas Carol.
