Book excerpt: The Seven Poor travellers is a classic Charles Dickens Christmas short story full of love, loss, regret, and reuniting. The story begins by relating the hardships the English were enduring at the time of the writing and tells of a dear soul who had endowed an inn for poor travelers to give room and board to destitute visitors for one night. Dickens ironically points out that the travelers got about 1/30th of the value, while the management and lawyers of the trust got the other 29/30ths. The narrator tells a story about Richard Doubledick, saved by an officer friend, after a Christmas Eve feast, who became his friend for life until his death at Waterloo. Richard later met the French officer who killed his friend and used forgiveness to get over it, which lead to them and their children becoming lifelong friends. This is a classic story about generations of salvation and friendship.

Book excerpt: How is this book unique? Font adjustments & biography included Unabridged (100% Original content) Illustrated About The Seven Poor Travellers by Charles Dickens A short and inspirational work by Charles Dickens written as a Christmas story. Outshined by Dickens much more well known Christmas story, this story has received scant notice. Written in the first person, Dickens tell of being a "poor traveller," and discovering a humble inn during his travels. Set up as a charitable hostel by a gentlemen deceased over a century previously, the inn offers to "six poor traveller's," true in heart, free lodging for one night plus enough money to purchase a simple meal. After satisfying himself of the bona fides of this charitable work, the "seventh poor traveller," as Dickens refers to the narrator, determines to contribute his own gift to his fellow "traveller's," it being Christmas Eve. Securing a sumptuous meal for the holy occasion, and preparing his own secret recipe of wassail, he shares a most satisfying Christmas Eve meal with his fellows, topping off the night with a personal story that befits a Christ-like life of humble service to the meanest among us. The story told, and following activities, serve to illustrate well the concept Dickens wishes to drive home, which is that at best we are all "poor traveller's" together in this life, and make the best of it all by sharing with a true heart whatever good and honest fare comes our way. Without the burden of judging harshly those whom we encounter who seem beneath our station, true happiness may be achieved before we, too, depart this veil of tears.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Differentiated book- It has a historical context with research of the time-The Seven Poor Travelers by Charles Dickens.Starting with the Christmas bonus number for 1854, The Seven Poor Travelers, Dickens put the stories into a general framework by adding special openings and endings and providing brief links between the segments. Dickens himself usually wrote two of the segments (although he did write one, sometimes three). He always set the general theme, and usually wrote the entire framework. At first, the setting was sober and utilitarian (although the dramatic situation was often whimsical); The typical strategy was to gather a group of strangers and have them out of their time telling stories (the dramatic situation generally required such fun). In the latest Christmas issues, Dickens paid more attention to the setting and creating a realistic and sometimes suspenseful situation for the narrative.The Seven Poor Travelers takes place on Christmas Eve in Rochester at the charity hospice founded in 1579 by Richard Watts, a royal hospice that Dickens knew well from his childhood days. According to Watts's will, his hospice was to provide six poor travelers (provided they were not rogues or supervisors) with free accommodation and entertainment for one night and four pence. In the opening section of The Seven Poor Travelers, titled 'The First', the narrator, he brings travelers up to seven,

Book excerpt: It was in the ancient little city of Rochester in Kent, of all the good days in the year upon a Christmas-eve, that I stood reading this inscription over the quaint old door in question. I had been wandering about the neighbouring Cathedral, and had seen the tomb of Richard Watts, with the effigy of worthy Master Richard starting out of it like a ship's figure-head; and I had felt that I could do no less, as I gave the Verger his fee, than inquire the way to Watts's Charity. The way being very short and very plain, I had come prosperously to the inscription and the quaint old door.

Book excerpt: Strictly speaking, there were only six Poor Travellers; but, being a Traveller myself, though an idle one, and being withal as poor as I hope to be, I brought the number upto seven. This word of explanation is due at once, for what says the inscription overthe quaint old door?RICHARD WATTS, Esq.by his Will, dated 22 Aug. 1579, founded this Charityfor Six poor Travellers, who not being ROGUES, or PROCTORS, May receive gratis for one Night, Lodging, Entertainment, and Fourpence each.It was in the ancient little city of Rochester in Kent, of all the good days in the yearupon a Christmas-eve, that I stood reading this inscription over the quaint old door inquestion.
