A review by izzatiidrus
The Story of the Goblins Who Stole a Sexton by Charles Dickens
3.0
I did not listen to the audiobook, I actually read the story itself in a book full of Dickens' Christmas stories. I just need to write a review for nearly every book I finished reading, and this particular title is hard to find on here, so this will have to do.
The best part of the story was actually the rhymed poem and this remark by Gabriel Grub:
"Brave lodgings for one, brave lodgings for one,
A few feet of cold earth, when life is done,
A stone at the head, a stone at the feet,
A rich, juicy meal for the worms to eat;
Rank grass overhead, and damn clay around,
Brave lodgings for one, these, in the holy ground! "
"A coffin at Christmas! A Christmas box! Ho! ho! ho!"
The rest was not very worth noting for me. Maybe part of me is actually Gabriel Grub, before he was an altered man.
