Notes:The story of Toby Veck, a poor porter who waits outside the church looking for work. He hears the bells several times a day and feels they are his friends. But events conspire against him and he spends his last pennies. He turns to the bells for help and ... this is a Dickens' story after all.

Reviews for The Chimes

Review - Chimes, The

Not one of Dickens' better efforts. The characters are good, as always. The scenes, up until the gremlins arrive, are fine. The gremlin thing is too weird. The ending is sappy, but I expected that.
