While The Chimes begins on New Year’s Eve, the moral themes and rich vs.
The year following the release of Carol, 1844, saw the release of The Chimes: A Goblin Story of Some Bells that Rang an Old Year Out and a New Year In. Any further discussion of Carol serves little purpose at this point (it must be read and reread, often) but I believe many well-read people, who may even know of the existence of the other Dickensian Christmas works, may come to appreciate one or more of these unloved Christmas novellas, as much as another turn through a Skipping Christmas or Little Women. The tale will likely remain a cultural touchstone in the English-speaking world for centuries. Most everyone has read, seen, or experienced Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol in some form or another since childhood.
