The Seven Poor Travelers is a short story written by the renowned English author, Charles Dickens. It was first published in 1854 and later included in a collection of Christmas stories titled The Seven Poor Travelers and Other Stories in 1898. The story revolves around a group of seven travelers who arrive in the town of Rochester on Christmas Eve. They are all poor and homeless, seeking shelter for the night. They are welcomed by the kind-hearted Richard Watts, a wealthy merchant who has made it his tradition to provide hospitality to seven poor travelers every Christmas. As the travelers settle in for the night, they share their stories with each other. Each traveler has a unique tale of hardship and struggle, and yet they find solace in the company of each other. Meanwhile, Richard Watts, who has been listening to their stories, is moved by their plight and decides to help them in his own way. The Seven Poor Travelers is a heartwarming story that highlights the importance of kindness and generosity towards those less fortunate. It is a classic example of Dickens' social commentary on the inequalities of Victorian society and his belief in the power of human compassion.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
