The Haunted Man and the Ghost's Bargain was a good story. The Chemist has a visit for a ghost that takes away his ability to remember sorrow and disappointment. This "gift" is then passed on to all he meets. The Chemist then sees the unfortunate results and begs the gift is taken away. Through the efforts of his housekeeper, everyone is reconciled.

The Battle of Life was a pretty good story. A story of one sister's love for another age the sacrifice she makes. 3.5/5

The Cricket on the Hearth. Good idea...poor execution, especially when compared to A Christmas Carol.

The Chimes is a strange story. Not nearly as good as A Christmas Carol. Very interesting, though.

A Christmas Carol is a fabulous story. The Marley Ghost is profound: "Why did I walk through crowds of fellow-beings with my eyes turned down, and never raise them to that blessed Star which led the Wise Men to a poor abode? Were there no poor homes to which its light would have conducted me?"
