Marley, prima di tutto, era morto. Niente dubbio su questo. Il registro mortuario portava le firme del prete, del chierico, dell'appaltatore delle pompe funebri e della persona che aveva guidato il mortoro. Scrooge vi aveva apposto la sua: e il nome di Scrooge, su qualunque fogliaccio fosse scritto, valeva tant'oro. Il vecchio Marley era proprio morto per quanto è morto, come diciamo noi, un chiodo di porta. Badiamo! non voglio mica dare ad intendere che io sappia molto bene che cosa ci sia di morto in un chiodo di porta. Per conto mio, sarei stato disposto a pensare che il pezzo più morto di tutta la ferrareccia fosse un chiodo di cataletto.

From the mysterious Druids and noble King Alfred to the notorious Henry VIII and the Glorious Revolution of 1688, Charles Dickens traced his country's history for the benefit of young Victorians. Written with the beloved storyteller's customary panache, this series of historical vignettes reads like a fast-paced novel, rich in anecdotes and colorful stories. Dickens' unsparing, witty, and opinionated perspectives on the great pageant of English history also offer insights into his own political and religious attitudes.This lively narrative was dedicated by the author to his children, in hopes of whetting their appetites for more substantial works of history. The book was included in the curricula of British school children well into the twentieth century, and it remains a treat for all ages. Alice Munro remembered it fondly as "the first glimpse I ever had of history, before I knew what history was ... the whole story has the charm and recklessness and exaggeration of a spellbinding fairy tale".
