Building on the success of his Christmas number for 1852, Dickens used the same framing concept for 1853's "Another Round of Stories by the Christmas Fire." This wide-ranging round features tales of angels, ghosts, and marriages that are as treacherous as they are inspiring. With more than one horrifying account of murder, the stories carry warning about love's dangers as well as its delights. An impressive contributor list includes Elizabeth Gaskell and George A. Sala, whose poignant tales rival Dickens' own. No library descriptions found. |

Dickens again asked his contributors to provide him with stories that exemplified the spirit of Christmas, rather than being specifically set at Chritmastime. So, the stories and poems are about family ties, affection, overcoming adversity, and murder and ghosts!
There are some good tales here, notably The Old Lady's Story by Eliza Lynn Linton and The Squire's Story by Elizabeth Gaskell, but overall this collection is not quite as strong as the first volume, A Round of Stories by the Christmas Fire. Nonetheless, a nice Yuletide read. (
