About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of Christmas Stories From 'Household Words' And 'All The Year Round' by Charles Dickens. Read in English by David Wales. Twenty stories originally published in the Christmas editions of the magazines “Household Words” and “All The Year Round”. Some of the stories have little holiday sentiment and exhibit much of the indignation Dickens felt at the social and economic injustices of his day. Some of the stories were written in collaboration with other authors. The editor of this volume chose to omit those other chapters and include only Dickens' work. The result is that some of the stories are a bit choppy, not to say confusing. (summary by david wales)
