About the work

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

LibriVox recording of The Seven Poor Travellers, by Charles Dickens. Read by Ruth Golding. One of Dickens' Christmas stories, this was first published as part of the Christmas number of Household Words for 1854. The first chapter relates Dickens' visit to the ancient Richard Watts's Charity at Rochester. The second chapter is the touching story of "Richard Doubledick", which Dickens supposedly told the travellers, and Dickens' journey home on Christmas morning provides the short concluding chapter.
