Über diesen Titel

Biografía del autor

Charles Dickens's early childhood was happy until his father was imprisoned for debt. The 12-year-old Dickens then began working ten-hour days in a boot-blacking factory pasting labels on the jars of thick polish. The shocking conditions of the factory made a profound impression on him. His anger at his situation and at the conditions endured by working-class people became major themes in his fiction.

Reseña del editor

While he was at supper, a parrot in the room began to talk, saying, 'Blood, blood! Wipe up the blood!' In Dickens's The Holy-Tree, the narrator tells of his travels, and particularly of his stay at an inn in which he was once snowed up for a time. He meets some other travellers, and they naturally begin terrifying each other with tales of murderous criminals.
