“Good day!” said Mr. Traveller.

“Same to you, if you like it,” returned the Tinker.

“Don’t you like it?  It’s a very fine day.”

As ever Dickens creates some very colourful characters here. he writes the story well. There is a little in coherency in the series of event; apparently a couple of the chapter were written by someone else. But it's still worth looking at these lesser know works by Dickens.

Not among my favorite Dicken's Christmas stories.

Es un libro atípico de Charles Dickens, se desarrolla en parte en Francia y en USA, mucha aventura, lo leí de niño pero recuerdo aventuras en el viejo Oeste, indios, bandidos etc.

Another short story from the book "Christmas Stories" by Dickens. This is also yet another one that he wrote with several others so, due to copyright issues, Christmas Stories only has the chapters by Dickens. A problem easily taken care of, I just got the complete works of Charles Dickens by Delphi
