The Poor Traveller by Charles Dickens - Full Audiobook | Christmas Stories

A full unabridged audiobook of the classic short story, "The Poor Traveller", by Charles Dickens - complete with sounds and visuals.

"The Poor Traveller" tells the story of a fictional relative of Dickens himself; a down-on-his-luck young soldier by the name of Richard Doubledick. Doubledick manages, with the help of a trustworthy Captain, to rebuild his faltering life and becomes something of a national treasure in the aftermath of the Napoleonic Wars.

The story originally featured as one part of a collection of stories entitled "The Seven Poor Travellers", which featured contributions from various authors including Wilkie Collins, Eliza Lynn and Dickens himself. It made its first appearance in Household Words magazine in 1854.

Dickens began a tradition of Christmas publications with "A Christmas Carol" in 1843 and his Christmas stories soon became a national institution.

Read by Elliot Fitzpatrick.

I'm listening to this bedridden at the hospital but I had to stop because I'm not supposed to laugh and Richard Double Dick gets me every time

Forgiveness doesn't free the wicked from their evil deeds. Rather, it frees the wounded, allowing their lives more peace. Thank you Sir for a lovely narration.

Richard double Dick being a drunk and on the ropes was truly blessed to gain a Mentor father figure and best friend, a mother, a wife, and a perfect life. This tale is fast moving and every word and sentence counts. Well done Sir Charles Dickens and well read Sir Elliot.

I never read Dickens until I retired. I saw several versions of The Christmas Carol and the movie, A Tale of Two Cities. They seemed okay. However, when I read these stories. I was amazed by his craftsmanship and his beautifully conceived stories. He is now one of my favorite authors. This story, so beautifully narrated, added to my favorable impressions of Mr.Dickens. Thank you for this.
