Journal Entry 1 by wingJPixwing from Southampton, Hampshire United Kingdom on Saturday, November 10, 2007

10 out of 10

The 10 stars are for the first story, A Christmas Carol. I've seen a few film adaptions but hadn't realised how wonderful the book was. The other two stories are also quite good, although I found "The Chimes" a bit confusing!

From the back cover:
Along with The Chimes and The Cricket on the Hearth, A Christmas Carol celebrates the joys of the festive season. Each of these books is politically provocative and aims to
stimulate the reader's pity and charity for the poor, but the tone is so intimate and the style so humorous that poverty and ignorance yield to generosity and compassion.
