5️⃣0️⃣ THE MYSTERY OF THE FOUR HUSBANDS by Gaston Leroux
By the author of PHANTOM OF THE OPERA, an exciting, exaggerated, tongue-in-cheek mystery/horror story. Colorfully illustrated as you go along. It's a fun tale and a learning experience too.
A caution: if you're squeamish, there is a gory description between 45:00 and 45:53. You can easily skip that part and still fully understand the story :)

New Years Story THE VEILED MIRROR by Horatio Alger Jr

A little bit like 𝘈 𝘊𝘩𝘳𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘮𝘢𝘴 𝘊𝘢𝘳𝘰𝘭 by Charles Dickens in its message of learning a valuable lesson in a dream - but lighter. This is my last Vlogmas entry for this year. I am away from my home and do not have a mic, but it should sound ok anyway (I hope). Enjoy this New Years story by Horatio Alger. All the best to everyone in 2025!

𝑪𝒉𝒓𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒎𝒂𝒔 𝑺𝒕𝒐𝒓𝒚 ⑳ THE CHILD'S STORY BY Charles Dickens VLOGMAS Day 20
มุมมอง 285หลายเดือนก่อน
A life story - an allegory. This story by Charles Dickens, author of 𝘖𝘭𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘛𝘸𝘪𝘴𝘵 and 𝘈 𝘊𝘩𝘳𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘮𝘢𝘴 𝘊𝘢𝘳𝘰𝘭, reminds me of Shakespeare's soliloquy, All The World's A Stage (or the Seven Ages of Man) in the play, 𝘈𝘴 𝘠𝘰𝘶 𝘓𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘐𝘵. It is gently told from the point of view of the traveler, who can possibly be Grandpa. #charlesdickens #christmasstory #vlogmas2024 #illustratedstory

These are available to read for free or close to free. We get to not only enjoy a good yarn, but also to experience from a first hand source an unfiltered glimpse of what life was like back in those days. I think it is fantastic - like a time machine.

      Awesome comment! Thank you. I read this a few years back, too. I agree with you saying, "classic for a reason". I think I read it too quickly, without remembering details and who the different characters were to each other. I am enjoying it so much more this time. I like writing the summaries for myself, and also for anyone else who would like to read them. Also, if somebody wanted to start partway through the book, I was hoping the summaries might help them begin wherever they would like.
