The Holly Tree by Charles Dickens was originally published in 1855, being the Christmas number of Dickens's periodical Household Words. It was so popular that it was then adapted for the stage. It's a collection of short stories by Dickens, Wilkie Collins, William Howitt, Adelaide Anne Procter and Harriet Parr, around the theme of travellers and inns. I liked Collins's and Howlitt's stories the most.It begins with a story by Dickens, The Guest in which a gentleman on his way to Liverpool is snowed in at the Holly-Tree Inn in Yorkshire.
Die Abenteuer Tom Sawyers(汤姆·索亚历险记) 立即阅读

Es wird, für die Zeit um 1876 ungewöhnlich, in der damals gängigen Alltagssprache erzählt, womit der Autor ein Gegenkonzept zu den damals üblichen Kinderbüchern über Musterknaben und brave Mädchen entwarf. Die Verwendung von Alltagssprache und Kraftausdrücken brachte das Buch in den USA zunächst auf den Index.
