Winter Holiday Adventures at the Manor Farm

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Mr. Pickwick's Christmas tells about the Pickwickian's adventures at the Manor Farm during winter holidays. A good-humored Christmas chapter, containing an account of a wedding, and some other sports beside, which although in their way, even as good customs as marriage itself, are not quite so religiously kept up, in these degenerate times. It also contains the story of the Goblins who stole a Sexton and tale on how the Pickwickians made and cultivated the acquaintance of a couple of nice young men belonging to one of the liberal professions; how they disported themselves on the ice; and how their visit came to a conclusion.

Autorenporträt

Charles Dickens (1812-1870) was a widely popular English author and social critic. Among his most famous novels are 'Oliver Twist', 'A Christmas Carol', and 'Great Expectations'. Dickens is best known for his depictions of poor Victorian living conditions and his unforgettable characters, some compassionate and others grotesquely malicious. Dickens' timeless tales are still as celebrated today as when they were written, and his literary style is so influential that the term Dickensian was coined to describe the literature he inspired. Many of Dickens' novels have been adapted for movies and television, including the Academy Award-winning musical 'Oliver'. 'A Christmas Carol' is well known worldwide and is a huge favourite movie for families to watch together at Christmas time. The most famous movie was from Disney in 2009 starring Jim Carrey, Gary Oldman and Colin Firth.
