Book excerpt: 'Boots,' an otherwise unnamed character in Dickens's Christmas story, is the main character in "Boots at The Holly Tree Inn", who, in his own vernacular tells the story of two children. The point at which any true appreciation of the short story begins is the clear perception that it is a distinct form of art; and the reason why the older novelists so rarely succeeded in the short story is that they did not apprehend this. If we bear in mind the three principles, that the short story must be complete in itself, that it is short because it cannot be long, and that it consists of a single incident, we can readily apply a critical test, which, while not infallible, nevertheless affords a valuable means of discrimination. Let us take the test of completeness and apply it to Dickens's exquisite story of "Boots at the Holly Tree Inn." The story as Dickens writes it covers a great variety of themes. We have an embittered lover, a detailed description of a mail-coach journey, of a snow-storm, of an inn, of his own ennui, of his own curious imaginings, elaborated in thousands of words, before he reaches the real story which the Boots at the Holly Tree has to tell. Finally, the icing on the cake... this story is fully illustrated by none other than, J. C. Beard, a revered master of watercolor, gouache and ink and with the same excitement that Charles Dickens would have had for this unique experience, we present the story to you.
