“There is nothing in the world so irresistibly contagious as laughter and good humor.”

― Charles Dickens

Charles Dickens was regarded as the literary colossus of his age. His 1843 novella, A Christmas Carol, remains popular and continues to inspire adaptations in every artistic genre. One of his lesser-known works was ‘Master Humphrey’s Clock’, a work which follows Humphrey and the stories he and Mr. Pickwick tell. The parts of this work were released in short segments weekly in periodicals in London. It first appeared in complete book form in 1840 by Chapman and Hall.
