Review by Nick Y.
Who would like this book? If you have read A Christmas Carol, you’d probably love to read The Chimes. This book has a great moral and is greatly written. It may be difficult for someone who doesn’t know many archaic English words.
The goods on this book: The Chimes is a story about Toby Veck (better known as Trotty Veck) who is in his sixties and is very, very poor. When his daughter comes to him and asks for his blessing to get married, what would he say? Trotty Veck seems to have this gift with these chimes that can tell him of burdens or of great fortunes. But when Trotty got up to the chimes (of a church), he saw something much different than just chimes.
The details 96 pages; originally published in 1844 Review by Nick Y.
