Review:

Such a delightful work... overflowing with good nature and good will towards the humblest and most friendless of our race. --William Cullen Bryant

Who can listen to objections regarding such a book as this? It seems to me a national benefit, and to every man or woman who reads it, a personal kindness. --William Makepeace Thackeray

Read with satisfaction; presented with satisfaction, and many Christmas wishes. --Thomas Carlyle

I like and admire... the exquisite scenes about the clerk and Tiny [Tim]; I thank the writer in my heart of hearts for them. --Elizabeth Barrett Browning

The story sings from end to end like a happy man going home.... It is lyric and exclamatory, from the first exclamatory words of it. It is strictly a Christmas Carol. --G.K. Chesteron
