Ultima opera compiuta di Dickens, la storia si snoda lungo il Tamigi, testimone e causa di morti. Ma la storia non è cupa come il suo inizio potrebbe far sembrare; la morale sui danni della cupidigia è evidente, il lieto fine inevitabile. La scrittura è qui più moderna, ironica, graffiante, quando tratta delle ipocrisie e inutilità della "vita di società" della borghesia.

Charles Dickens' classic tale of Christmas hauntings, reimagined in a new world. It is the winter of 1882, and the wizard, Merlene, has had his eye on the Captain of the Watchmen, Ambrosius Baltus. As wrathful and mean as Ebenezer Scrooge, he is in even more of an advantageous situation to affect the people of London for good. But as Merlene’s foul-mouthed horse companion The Nag warns, this armoured, firecasting duart proves to be a stubborn and dangerous choice for this Christmas Eve project, and their ethically questionable scheme may result in more harm than it does help. A short novella from the creator of Tiger's Eye and Arlington, featuring the characters of The Princess Thieves, and blending Dickens’ words with a new perspective.

"Little Dorrit is a novel by Charles Dickens, originally published in serial form between 1855 and 1857.

The prison in this case is the Marshalsea, where Dickens's own father had been imprisoned'." - Wikipedia

"A Christmas Tree" is perhaps best described as Dickens' "other" Christmas story.

A Christmas Carol is one of Charles Dickens' best loved tales. Ebenezer Scrooge, described as "a squeezing, wrenching, grasping, scraping, clutching, covetous old sinner," is certainly no lover of the Christmas season.

Ebenezer Scrooge has no time for the poor or the wretched. And it's "Bah, humbug!" to anyone who wishes him a Merry Christmas.

The wonderful ghostly world of Charles Dickens's A Christmas Carol, re-told in a proper, warm, friendly London accent.

Hogan will take you back to 1843, to the world of the common man, of extreme poverty, but of honest hearts and honest souls.
