The Haunted Man and the Ghost Bargain Annotated Edition eBook Charles Dickens Gilbert Keith Chesterton
I can;t belive I'm giving a Dickens book 3 stars, but there it is...it's the last volume of his "Christmas canon"...darker than A Christmas Carol...one thing I didn;t like about it is that there is precious little *Christmas* in it, except for him to write the word a few times...it could (almost) be as easily set in June as December...there are some flashes of genius: his characterization of the elder Swidger is wonderful...and the scenes of the Tetterby children are great comedy...and the kindness of Milly Swidger who provides the lesson:"May I tell you why it seems to me a good thing for us, to remember wrong that has been done us?"
"Yes."
"That we may forgive it."
But the rest of the story just isn;t enough to make it a favorite of mine.

The Haunted Man and the Ghost Bargain Annotated Edition eBook Charles Dickens Gilbert Keith Chesterton Reviews
Just wish it had an older look to the book. It is too modern looking for an older writing.
Not Dickens’ best Christmas tale but a good read that makes a serious, important point. To paraphrase rather, our joys lose meaning without our sorrows.
