The Chimes by Charles Dickens (Audiobook)

From Charles Dickens comes The Chimes, available as a complete audiobook for Literature & Fiction listeners.

This classic story is the second in a series of five Christmas books Dickens was commissioned to write – beginning with A Christmas Carol . A lingering tale set on New Year’s Eve, The Chimes tells the story of a poor porter named Trotty Veck who has become disheartened by the state of the world – until he is shown a series of strongal visions that convince him of the good of humanity. Though much different from and certainly a bit shadoweder than A Christmas Carol , the moral message of The Chimes is equally poignant – touting the importance of compassion, goodwill, and the love of friends and family. The Chimes was followed by The Cricket on the Hearth , The Battle of Life , and finally The Haunted Man and the Ghost’s Bargain . Public Domain (P)2015 Audible, Inc. The magnificent Richard Armitage ( Hamlet: King of Denmark: A Novel ) performs The Chimes by Charles Dickens.
