The Chimes

language (ICU Publishing Dec. 20, 2010)
The Chimes: A Goblin Story of Some Bells that Rang an Old Year Out and a New Year In is a short novel by Charles Dirkens and is the second book in his series of Christmas books. The Chimes is a story of about self-respect and the consequences of their choices. It may not be as popular as the first book, A Christmas Carol; it probably packs more of an emotional punch than either story. It is a tale that will--as the best of Dickensian melodrama does--grip you and wring your heart. One really gets the sense of what reading Dickens must have felt like to his contemporaries.

The book includes original illustrations, an active/navigable table of contents, a Free audiobook link to download (which can be downloaded using a PC/Mac) at the end of the book.
