The Goblins who Stole a Sexton

Anotace

After beating up a little boy on Christmas Eve – as you do – Gabriel Grub, a grumpy and mean-spirited gravedigger, goes to dig a grave in the churchyard. His work is interrupted when goblins come by to show him what a nasty and spiteful fellow he is. The Goblins Who Stole a Sexton is a quick and festive read which appeared in Charles Dickens' first novel, The Pickwick Papers, Britain's first publishing phenomenon. It's a haunting and imaginative short story and readers familiar with Dickens will find many parallels to A Christmas Carol.
