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: The Seven Poor Travellers by Charles Dickens. The story starts in a charity hospice in Rochester--a place that Dickens himself was familiar with from his own childhood. According to the will of the founder, Richard Watts, at Christmas the hospice must provide lodgings and entertainment for one night as well as some money to six poor people, an amount that is substantial enough to allow the travelers to buy a hearty meal. On Christmas Eve there are six people in the inn and the novels is composed from the six stories of the travelers who find shelter in the hospice, plus the narrator himself. The stories told by the travelers and the meal shared create a kind of harmony and a sense of community between the seven people--they all leave the inn the following day and life will probably take them to different places, but they will all cherish the memory of this one serene evening. Originally published in the Christmas edition of Household Words of 1854; when republished in the book Christmas Stories, the chapters were slightly changed.

Unabridged (100% Original content) Font adjustments & biography included Illustrated 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.
