MR. PICKWICK’S CHRISTMAS is an account of the Pickwickians’ Christmas at the manor farm in Dingley Dell near Rochester, Kent; and of the adventures they have there one Christmas.
The first adventure is The Tale of the Goblin who stole a sexton; the second tells of The famous sports on ice, as written in the Pickwick Papers. a novel by Charles Dickens. This small volume has been illustrated in colour and Pen-and-ink by George Alfred Williams.
This is a fun little Christmas book. Enjoyable to read out loud during the Christmas season and a welcome change to Dickens’ staple of modern Christmases worldwide – A Christmas Carol.
