Length: 3 hrs and 40 mins Release date: 12-11-15 Publisher: Brilliance, This classic story is the second in a series of five Christmas books Dickens was commissioned to write - beginning with A Christmas Carol., A haunting tale set on New Years Eve,, The Chimes is Charles Dickens 1844 novella that concerns the disillusionment of Toby Trotty Veck, a poor working-class man. When Trotty has lost his faith in Humanity and believes that his poverty is the result of his unworthiness he is visited on New Years Eve by spirits to help restore his faith and show him that nobody is born evil, but rather that crime and poverty are things created by man., Though much different from and certainly a bit darker than A Christmas Carol, the moral message of The Chimes is equally poignant - touting the importance of compassion, goodwill, and the love of friends and family.
