Am Silvesterabend gesteht Meg ihrem Vater, den Tischler Richard Johnson heiraten zu wollen. Doch Armenrichter Alderman Cute malt Meg in düstersten Farben ihre Zukunft aus - in noch größerer Armut, mit zwei, drei Kindern und einem arbeitslosen, dem Alkohol ergebenen Mann. In der Silvesternacht wird Toby vom Glockenklang in den Glockenturm gelockt. Dort begegnet er Geistern, Elfen und Kobolden - und bekommt erschreckende Visionen, die die Prophezeiungen des Armenrichters zu bestätigen scheinen ...

Charles Dickens was born on 7th February 1812 in Portsmouth and grew up in London and Kent. His father was sent to a debtor's prison following financial difficulties and the young Dickens was sent temporarily to work in a boot blacking factory, until an inheritance allowed his return to school - however, he never forgot this formative experience. Dickens wrote many novels including A Tale of Two Cities, The Pickwick Papers, A Christmas Carol and Great Expectations. A leading celebrity of the Victorian Age, his short story The Signalman was likely based on a crash involving a train that Dickens was travelling on, with his mistress. Charles Dickens died in 1870.
