A Holiday Romance is a collection of four short interconnected stories written from the point of view of four children. The children are on holiday and are living out their fantasies, which come from all manner of adventure and romance stories and involve everything from weddings to courts martial, to pass the time. With this work, Dickens seeks not only to entertain but to advocate for freedom of imagination and fancy.

The Battle of Life: A Love Story is a novella by Charles Dickens, first published in 1846. It is the fourth of his five "Christmas Books", coming after The Cricket on the Hearth and followed by The Haunted Man and the Ghost's Bargain. The setting is an English village that stands on the site of an historic battle. Some characters refer to the battle as a metaphor for the struggles of life, hence the title. Battle is the only one of the five Christmas Books that has no supernatural or explicitly religious elements.
一九二九年四月十五日，由冯雪峰、戴望舒主持的上海水沫书店，出版了柔石的中篇小说《三姐妹》。小说以委婉的笔调，叙述了章先生与三姐妹的曲折的恋爱故事。章先生原来是杭州德行中学毕业班的学生，他负责动员平民女子进学生自治会创办的“夜校”读书，因而认识了美丽得象“三位天使”那样的三姐妹。他热烈地爱上了大姐莲姑，但遭到了德行中学老校长的干涉，并被开除出校。为了向老校长报复，他去北京上大学，争取毕业后回到德行中学当校长。他难舍难分地与莲姑告别，但分离一久，感情也就淡薄下去，在京学习的最后一年，竟连信也不给莲姑写一封。大学四年毕业以后，他果然得到了杭州德行中学校长的委任状，但此时莲姑已被迫嫁给了一个“黄胖的商人”。
