The Chimes, a Goblin Story (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781483703237)

The Chimes: A Goblin Story of Some Bells that Rang an Old Year Out and a New Year In, a Dickens novel and the second in his series of Christmas books including A Christmas Carol and The Cricket on the Hearth. Written in Italy when the Genoese Bells were audible from his villa, Charles Dickens divided The Chimes into four parts relating to the chimes of a clock every quarter the same way A Christmas Carol had five staves and The Cricket on the Hearth had "chirps" as chapters. There is a moral message here like in A Christmas Carol when Scrooge wakes up on Christmas Day a reformed character. The Chimes here represent time and given time, Trotty comes round
