A review by mrdavid205
Christmas Books by Charles Dickens

5.0

Yes, the Christmas books are very uneven in quality, The Chimes being particularly poor, and the writing is sometimes incredibly florid to modern readers, but the fact that the collection contains A Christmas Carol makes up for it. A Christmas Carol is quite simply the finest novella ever written. The highlight of the rest is The Haunted Man but for any readers of Dickens there is something to like in all of them.
