Creators: Liked Once upon a time, it matters little when, and in stalwart England, it matters little where, a fierce battle was fought. It was fought upon a long summer day when the waving grass was green. Many a wild flower formed by the Almighty Hand to be a perfumed goblet for the dew, felt its enamelled cup filled high with blood that day, and shrinking dropped. Many an insect deriving its delicate colour from harmless leaves and herbs, was stained anew that day by dying men, and marked its frightened way with an unnatural track.
LikedThe Cricket on the hearth, The Battle of Life, and then The Chimes was another favorite of mine. In fact, The Chimes is one that Dickens considered greater than A Christmas Carol. So, I don't know how all those are published because there's so many different publications, but I would definitely seek out those novellas because I think they were very strong from Charles Dickens.
Likedit's not my favorite of his Christmas novellas but clemency is such a wonderful character and she is the real like standout from this story
What made the match, strongest first
