The Chimes: A Goblin Story<\/em>\u00a0is a short novel that was published in 1844, one year after\u00a0A Christmas Carol<\/em>.<\/em>\u00a0It is one of Dickens\u2019s \u201cChristmas stories,\u201d which are five short books that contain strong social and moral messages.<\/p>\n

The chimes are the old bells in the church on whose cold and windy steps poor and elderly Toby Veck waits for jobs. He is a ticket porter, or messenger, for those rich enough to use his services\u2014although they despise his poverty and those like him. The book is divided into four parts called \u201cQuarters,\u201d after the quarter chimes of a striking clock, and in each one we meet an array of characters, stereotypically good and bad. The book reveals the power and significance of Dickens\u2019s message that, as in the Sermon on the Mount, \u201cBlessed are the pure of heart.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
