Set against the backdrop of Victorian Christmas, the novella explores the bond between two sisters, Grace and Marion, who face separation but ultimately find their way back to each other. Unique among Dickens's Christmas tales, it avoids supernatural elements, focusing instead on familial love and reconciliation. The story reflects the era's festive spirit and has influenced modern holiday traditions. This edition includes a new biography, offering deeper insights into Dickens's life and legacy as one of the greatest novelists of his time.
