Description
The Haunted Man and the Ghost's Bargain is a novel by Charles Dickens, first published in 1848, that concludes his series of five Christmas books. The story is more about the spirit of the holidays than about the holidays themselves. The tale centers on Professor Redlaw, a chemistry teacher who is constantly brooding over the grief caused by past wrongs done to him. Redlaw is haunted by a spirit who takes from him these painful memories, which leaves him unexpectedly bitter. Ultimately the conflict of the novella is resolved in an uplifting way which asserts the moral of the story. "That it is important to remember past sorrows and wrongs so that you can then forgive those responsible and, in doing so, unburden your soul and mature as a human being."
The book includes illustrations by John Tenniel and Frank Stone, an active/navigable table of contents, and a Free audiobook link for download (which can be downloaded using a PC/Mac) at the end of the book.
