""Twelve O'Clock: A Christmas Story"" is a novella written by Frederick William Robinson and first published in 1861. The story takes place on Christmas Eve and follows the protagonist, a wealthy businessman named Gabriel Grubb, who is known for his miserly ways and lack of Christmas spirit. One night, while digging a grave in a churchyard, Gabriel is visited by goblins who show him the error of his ways and take him on a journey through time to witness the joys and sorrows of others during the holiday season. Through this experience, Gabriel learns the true meaning of Christmas and is transformed into a kinder and more generous person. The book is a heartwarming tale of redemption and the power of the holiday spirit to bring people together.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
