{"product_id":"2940170774241","title":"Three Short Stories","description":"Charles Dickens is known not only for his novels but also for his shorter works. Particularly notable are his five Christmas novellas, especially \u003ci\u003eA Christmas Carol\u003c\/i\u003e. In this genre, Dickens's stories had a powerful commercial impulse, for it became an annual tradition for the author to publish one in time for the holiday season between 1843 and 1847. \u003ci\u003eThree Short Stories\u003c\/i\u003e brings together a trio of the celebrated author's Christmas stories: \u003ci\u003eThe Cricket on the Hearth\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Battle of Life\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eThe Haunted Man\u003c\/i\u003e. All three lay emphasis on family love and the delights of home, but there is more to these stories than surface sentimentality. Each year, a whole nation would eagerly anticipate these tales, telling us much about the age Dickens lived in. And these stories never would have survived without roots and power.","brand":"Tantor Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47117579485424,"sku":"2940170774241","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940170774241_p0.jpg?v=1763717192","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940170774241","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
