No Description Available Charles John Huffam Dickens pen-name "Boz", was the foremost English novelist of the Victorian era, as well as a vigorous social campaigner. Considered one of the English language's greatest writers, he was acclaimed for his rich storytelling and memorable characters, and achieved massive worldwide popularity in his lifetime. Later critics, beginning with George Gissing and G. K. Chesterton, championed his mastery of prose, his endless invention of memorable characters and his powerful social sensibilities. Yet he has also received criticism from writers such as George Henry Lewes, Henry James, and Virginia Woolf, who list sentimentality, implausible occurrence and grotesque characters as faults in his oeuvre. The popularity of Dickens' novels and short stories has meant that none have ever gone out of print. Dickens wrote serialised novels, which was the usual format for fiction at the time, and each new part of his stories would be eagerly anticipated by the reading public. Source Wikipedia

First published by Charles Dickens in 1855. The Holly Tree is an odd narrative with a middle chapter which can be read as a seperate story. ** spoiler alert ** "Boots" is the second chapter of Dickens' larger Christmas work The Holly Tree Inn. The second chapter has little to do plot-wise with the first and last chapters except that the narrator--who becomes snowbound while fleeing from a broken heart in chapter one and finds it after the snow is cleared in chapter three--is the receiver of the middle story. The middle story is narrated by Boots a servant who tells an unusual Christmas tale supposedly given to him (or in fact is him,) of another servant name Cobbs. Cobbs describes a adventure of two small upper class children who for love of one another attempt to elope. They bring him into their confidence and expect him to serve, but while he watches out for them, he does so out of love. He in fact returns them to their families but actually feels twinges of guilt for betraying their confidences. It's an interesting study of class connection filled with Dickens ear for the speaking patterns of various classes. The interaction of classes is also a dawning experience for the primary narrator who in chapter one is exposed to all sorts of horror stories in print (including a prototype of Sweeny Todd) but does not hear a story of selfless loss until he invites a servant to sit with him and chat.Product details
